The river has actually opened up, and there is no more snow here. I might have to change the picture to something from Wordpress, because our laptop is down, and I haven’t figured out how to get pics from my digital cam onto the old computer. Maybe I’ll get to that later today. Just so you know. Spring has actually arrived.

I’m kind of slacking, even in the boring department. I think my last post was a week ago at least.

I had another appointment yesterday. It was discouraging. There is some dilation happening, but other factors are not favorable at all, and actually similar to how Brett’s pregnancy, labor and delivery were. I’m trying to stay peaceful, and not focus on all my fears about what might happen. I don’t want a section. I don’t understand women who elect to have them without a real medical need. I’ve already had one. Believe me, it’s not fun. So Dr. A is not saying for sure a section right now, but things are looking more that way. Please pray for more dilation, for Baby to come down and engage, for my cervix to become more favorable, etc. I am supposed to be having an ultrasound. He ordered it last week, so I’m surprised I haven’t heard yet, as he requested within the week. Anyway, I’ll get less than 24 hrs. notice on going in, and they will be checking to see how big this Baby is. Of course it’s not completely accurate, but if we’re going back up above ten pounds, and approaching even eleven pounds, he just wants to schedule the OR for the weekend I’m due. May 19 is a Saturday, and it’s also a long weekend. So it would be nothing if not convenient.

Sharon and Holley blessed us with a night away last week. Greg had Friday off work, so he tucked me into bed at the Holiday Inn early Thursday afternoon, and took the kids with him for his afternoon run. I slept for 3&1/2 UNINTERRUPTED hours. It was NICE! And now Erin, recently returned from her sojourn in BC, has offered us this weekend. The WHOLE weekend! So we’re trying to decide what to do. I don’t want to go too far away from my hospital, just in case something does happen. So we’ll likely choose a B&B in Fredericton. Looking forward to it.

The weather is lovely this week so far. Cole was so pleased to be the first one donning shorts for outside play this year. They do really well playing away from the water. Normally it would be ok for them to be right on the shore, but water levels are still quite high, so there is actually no beach exposed right now.

And now it’s time for lunch. I think I’ll make french toast for the kiddies, and for me - more of my lovely mother in law’s fish chowder she made yesterday. I don’t think anyone can make it like she can! Yummy!
