Well yesterday was the supposed to be the B-Day. Unfortunately "Little T" wasn't moving out. Not yet. We stayed for some surprise tests and an ultrasound for several hours. Next on the agenda is a trip back on Saturday for another NST (non stress test) to see how "Little T's" heart rate is doing. Then back on Tuesday, and if no action before then, Amy will be induced on Wed or Thursday. Impatient? No of course not. Never. I'm such a patient person.When we got home from the hospital yesterday, our neighbors with their newborn in hand, came out and greeted us with a gift. It was some sort of "hooter hider" (yes, there is a such a thing) or nursing blanket. I'm not real well read on that kind of stuff.
This was very encouraging to see our neighbors loving us back. Perhaps even better than we've loved them-although giving gifts is not my love language (but I have given them snook and redfish filets before!). A sense of community has definitely developed as people are beginning to creatively think of ways to bless others. And that's a good thing.
And then we were able to have someone over for dinner. A nice ending to a long afternoon.

Gifts of fish are as valid as the other kind so you're covered in that department!
Our first baby was 10 days past the due date. The rest were 3 days after so do not despair. Little T will arrive at the exact time God has set for him/her to arrive. In the meantime Amy has to keep apologizing to people because she is "still here." It's annoying.

Thanks for the encouraging reminder about fish and babies.
Are they worried about fluid levels or the placenta degenerating? 'Cause it seems early to be worrying about going past-due. . . Will be praying. For Amy's and baby's health--and that s/he will be born in just the right time.
Thanks!
