Just Waiting...

A slight detour this week from the MEP postings. I can already tell that it may need to transition to entries that depict a more detailed listing of what God is teaching us versus simply reviewing texts and initial thoughts. Suffice it to say, God is working tremendously in our family as well as others in our fledgling church. It is both humbling and exciting to see.

But these days are characterized now as ones filled with...waiting. Child # 4 is officially due this coming Sunday. I now ask Sarah multiple times a day if she is 'feeling it happen yet'. So far, the answers have all been a timid 'no', but tonight as we took a walk she said that she is starting to 'not feel so well' and 'feeling pressure'. That could mean it's just a day or two away or more than a week away...only time will tell. But tonight we got the baby seat in the van and will be packing the all-encompassing bag of clothes (for the baby, Sarah, even me...just in case), so we are eliminating logical reasons left and right.

By the way, entries are still being taken for the 'name the baby' gig. When I posted that last month, we had some ideas for names, but just felt like we needed a final surge to solidify our thoughts. By the time we started reading through submissions, we already had our four finalists (two of each gender so that we have a choice to make once we see the child). That being said, I was amazed at how close some of you got. Though only a few were entered on the comments section of the blog, others just emailed it to me/us. Either we are WAY too transparent, or some of you are VERY qualified at naming children per my unique limitations. Who knows, we may even have an exact winner! Of course, there's still time!
