38 weeks...that's how far along we "should" have been today. We should be thinking about having a baby any time now. I should be miserably hot and uncomfortable and thinking of a million ways to induce labor.
Instead, I am here. Thinking about the Ella Grace. The baby girl I got to meet way too early and who has already left her mark on the world and gone on to spend the rest of eternity in a place better than I could ever imagine!
Life sure isn't what I thought it would be right now. I hadn't wanted to mention it until it was official, but...I quit my job! Today was my last day at work. "A" and I have talked about it and I am going to take the summer off. We both think I need a "break" and then we will see where God leads me. I am so excited! I have big plans of lots of recipes, projects and just good wifery (I know it's not a word, but I plan on being Betty Fricking Crocker while I am off...it's going to be great!)
Also, please please please be praying for my blog-turned-real-life-friend Deni whose birth mother is supposed to give birth any time now. She could really use the prayers for peace and also for a safe delivery for Cala Fay. She and her husband are going to be such fantastic parents and I pray that the adoption goes off seamlessly! I can't wait to meet their miracle! Love you girl and I am here!!
Also, also, don't forget to enter the thank you for being so awesome giveaway here!!

6 rose petals:
I am so glad you quit your job! I hope that the summer break treats you well and you get the peace you deserve. Thinking of you as your due date approaches.

a break sounds like exactly like the medicine you need. I'm so glad.
and I'll be thinking of you all weekend, hugging you in my heart.
I had similar feelings the closer my due date got. It's hard!!! The day of my due date wasn't really hard for me, but now that Evan should be here I have a harder time pushing the "he should be here, he should be doing this or that." I see little cute clothes and think, "That is what I would him wearing that outfit!" I remember this sentence all the time now..."It doesn't get easier, it's just gets different!" Not correct grammer, but when I was in high school, someone discribed motherhood with that sentence...and it fits for grieving too!
Many prayers for you as you approach Ella Grace's due date. I have had many unfulfilled due dates myself, but have not experienced the same kind of pain that you have, friend. Thinking of you.
I think taking the summer off is a great idea! Hope you enjoy every single second of it.
Definitely praying for our sweet friend Deni right now, too.
(((hugs)))
Congratulations on being jobless! Hope the break is just what you need.
