We are here!!! We are at my sister's house & I am enjoying watching all of the kids play together. Really looking forward to a fun weekend and a relaxing one!! For some reason, it was just nice to get away for awhile and refocus. I spent the drive up listening to screaming kids(long story) but I spent last night lying awake & thinking and praying. God really spoke to me last night in the quiet in a different place. I am just processing a lot of things this morning and I don't have much time to share. When I get a chance, I will write more. One of the things HE really pressed on my heart is that I spend too much time wasting time! Make sense? lol
Love to all and thanks for your many precious prayers! I'll share some pictures soon!

Where o' where is Baby Andrew?!
Just an update: I am dialated to the big number of 1 maybe 1 & 1/2!!!! That's it! 38 weeks and I am a 1 & 1/2 at the most! AGH! And, I was not really happy with my visit yesterday and I actually bawled after I got out of the dr.'s office. =(
Anyway, all of that to say, that I know God is teaching me in this moment. He is using this waiting time to bring some things to my attention and I know that I must abide in HIM as I wait. It is difficult to not demand and whine and cry that baby Drew come out today as right now that does not seem to be in our Heavenly Father's plans for this little one! I MUST trust that HIS plans are perfect and that He has the perfect birth day for our little baby boy. Just please pray for me that I can have the strength and peace to do that!! =)
In waiting out this time, maybe I can get a few more things accomplished before he arrives! Or, maybe I can just spend more time just being with my amazing husband and little girls! =) If he is not here by Saturday, Charlie & I have a big day planned with homemade doughnuts for the girls, outside playtime with them, and lunch and shopping(for the baby) in town just me & Charlie! So, that will be fun!!!! Time by ourselves!!!! Yay!!!! (Can you tell that I am excited?)
Well, I have to get off of this computer and make breakfast and play with the girls for awhile. They are SO exhausted from the trip and missed naps yesterday! It will be nice just to hang out here at home and let them play and help Mama "clean". They love to "help" me "clean"!! I hope it continues as they get older but I am not holding my breath!! =)
Oh, and we will be listening to a "SELAH" CD that I bought yesterday while we work and play! I have been wanting a CD of theirs for awhile and I am blown away!! My Mama even likes it and we very rarely ever like the same Christian music!!! So, I would say, that if it bridges generations like that, it must be awesome!!! We listened to it all afternoon yesterday!! Mama even loved the African stuff!! REALLY cool!!! =)
So, enough rambling for today. I hope you enjoyed my little ecclectic post about anything and everything! I am finding that as I get closer to the birth, I am rambling a lot!
Blessings and Prayers on you and your families,
Julie

38 weeks-No baby yet!!!
Well, there's not much to report except to say that there is no baby yet!! Contractions have been coming off and on for awhile now but still not regular enough and they are slowing down and then just stopping. It's irritating but I know and I am trying to remember that the baby will come in the Lord's good time! I just do not want to go very much longer because the baby will be huge and I am SO ready to hold this baby boy in my arms!!
So, I will definitely try and post some baby shower photos today and show you my HUGE 38 week belly!! We had an unbelievably sweet and thoughtful shower Saturday afternoon! Charlie couldn't be there (the first one he's missed!)because he had to work so, it was bittersweet but I enjoyed myself anyway and we got some really cute stuff for baby Drew! =)
Hopefully, unless I go into labor, I will get the pictures posted later today! For now, I am off to go walking with my Mom and try out my new double stroller with Lily! =)
Have a great Monday everyone & thank you so much for your sweet and thoughtful comments and most of all, your prayers!! They are much needed and appreciated!
Love and Prayers to you all,
Julie
