False alarm…
Yesterday we switched cars with a couple from our small group who are SO generous and are allowing us to use their SUV which has 4 wheel drive and studded tires for the snow, which our Pathfinder doesn’t have, so we brought it home and packed everything in, it was fun…and we both said, “Okay, now really now we are ready to go, so call come in tonight PLEASE!” So last night I was doing some research on the internet and Darrel was watching the TV and the phone rang…so I got up…walked pass Darrel and said “maybe this is it…” picked up the phone and heard Amy’s caseworker on the other line…”Hi, Julie…” OH MY GOSH, this IS it, my heart started racing…and then immediately after she says “its not time for the baby yet…I thought I better say that before anything else….” NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! She had a quick question for us…AHHHHHHHH!!! It was torture I tell you, torture!!!!!!!
Today Amy is 39 weeks pregnant, so only 7 days away from her due date!
I REALLY do hope we don’t have to wait 7 more days, we are so anxious and every time the phone rings are hearts feel like they are going to explode…I know the Lord already knows what day Landon is meant to be here, and that it will be perfect but if we had our choice we would LOVE for him to be born this weekend! But if you want a good feeling of what this feels like, then tonight when you are lying in bed, just stare at your clock for 5 minutes, donot take your eyes off the clock, just stare at it….it will feel like an hour, I promise…so each minute feels like an eternity….we are NOT sleeping at all, neither of us, Darrel said last night while we were both tossing and turning, ”I at least want Landon home and not be sleeping for a reason, but this is awful, not sleeping because of anxiety”…it seriously is torture!
So we’ll see how much longer we have to wait…I’m clinging onto the words the doctor told Amy…”he doesn’t think she will go until next Friday…”
It’s sweet over the last few days I’ve been getting a TON of text and emails from people…”are you going to call us or text us when you get the call…” This is our plan, well we do have a longggg drive too so I definately will have time to text or call everyone, but once we are on the road I promise you all, at least the people who have asked me to, text you that we are on our way…after that, I am leaving it to my Mom and Mindy to keep everyone updated through email or text…many of you have asked if I plan on blogging when we are there…I do hope so, I plan to so that I can remember everything…but I can’t promise anyone anything when it comes to blogging…depends on what is going on…SO if you are someone who doesn’t mind getting a text at possibly a random time in the night or even a call, let me know, I will glady call or text you that we are on the way…and if I can with updates if not, Mindy or my Mom will be the people you can contact about updates…so if you want their information email me and I will share it with you!!
On a more serious note, PLEASE continue praying for Amy and her family…and for a safe delivey of Landon! Thank you guys, I hope to be waking you up in the middle of the night saying “were on our way to meet Landon!!!!!”
