heading to the hospital again…!
We called the hospital this morning at 6:00a.m. expecting to go in (to be induced); but they were booked…it was an odd experience that starts with almost going in Christmas eve, and i won’t go into much more (no love lost) except to say that Joy has been up since 5:45a.m.–we finally got called around 4 o’clock to come in…
Merry Christmas all.
It was indeed a wet Christmas in the Seattle area. I called my fam back in Indiana, and it’s 5 below, so It’s all good here today, considering.
Wifey got me Hackers and Painters…the rest of my gifts were just icing on the cake. I wholeheartedly appreciate how much she understood how much I wanted that book. Made me feel a little guilty i didn’t break her off with any scrapbooking goodness this year.
With the new move, it’s been tough all around, to plan, and to even “have Christmas”–this is our first since our marriage, that we haven’t been with either of our in-laws, and we all feel it. It’s been particularly important to me to keep in mind the celebration of the birth of Yahushua the Messiah. It’s easy even, when you “have it easy” to focus completely on the family thing, and lose sight of why this holiday was appropriated in the first place.
Off to friends’ house for dinner.
Thanks Josh & Janny for the shirt!
Wow, Christmas Eve…looks like we’re about to go in tonight. we will see, however.
update 9:08pm PST — talked to midwife–not just yet. Thank God for the church–we have friends around the corner that are willing to take the kids if it happens in the middle of the night! That was a major concern for us, since we just moved out here.
