I've received a few panicked phone calls lately, and thought it might be an act of charity on my part to set all hearts at ease by posting a quick note to let anyone who cares know that i've not yet delivered a baby. ;)
And to be perfectly honest, i am totally okay with that! I mean, my due date isn't even here yet. By past experience, that often comes and goes without event, so i'm not expecting too much at the moment. I was, however, consoled to know that as of last Friday, i was already 3cm and 50%. Typical for me to hang out here for a week and a half before D-day, so the consolation lies in knowing that the more work i do now, the less HARD work i'll have to do on the day of delivery.
So for those who are panic-stricken, be aware that i've been given numerous ultimatums about when i CAN and CAN'T have the baby, all of which, i am sure, somehow affect my psyche. These include:
-"You can't have the baby on the 26th, b/c i'm already off work and need to get a bunch of work done outside." (Joe)
-"You can't have the baby on the 27th, b/c that's Thanksgiving Day." (Joe)
-"You can't have the baby on the 28th, b/c i'm already off work AGAIN and need to get a bunch of Kairos work done incase the baby comes late." (Joe)
-"Great Grandma's vieweing is on the 25th and her funeral is on the 26th, so you can't have the baby then, either." (May she rest in peace.) (Joe)
-"You're kids are going to come down with the flu on the 29th, so you better put off having the baby another day. Oh, and on the 30th, which would otherwise be a great day to have a baby, YOU are going to get slammed with a sore throat, stuffy nose, nausea, and trouble-from-the-other-end. No sense in delivering then." (God)
So you see, i really had no options anyway. I dont know why you people who expect early deliveries and then make ulitmatums don't see the folly of your ways.
To be sure, i will keep everyone posted (no pun intended). So keep doing me the favor of resisting the temptation to call and see if i'm in labor yet... cause i'm not. Too many demands to meet, and some recovering to do yet from my fight with the flu.

Prayers for a speedy recovery! Much love:)
I was wondering if you all had survived the onslaught of the stomach bug that was making it's rounds. Sorry to hear it hit. We'd been praying it would spare ya'll.
I'll be praying for you during this time. It sounds a bit stressful! :)
Just to let you know, I gave you an award on my blog. You can ignore it if you want. My Mom gave it to me, so I felt I should play along. I only read about 7-8 blogs, so... :)
Good luck with everything and you'll be in my prayers!
