Almost There

This picture was taken last Sunday at church -- it's of us pregnant girls. I'm lamenting that we didn't take a picture like this of us sooner, because there would have been a couple more of us in the picture who have since had their babies! But from left to right: Della (due November 30), me (due December 1), Rachel (due Christmas Day), and Sara (due at the beginning of February).

December napping (actually, me snapping this picture of her is what woke her up from the nap...oops)

Brad and December reading a bedtime story

Aren't they cute?!?

Brad's been really busy lately, writing all of his papers. Last night, he finished writing his second of four, most of which are due December 5. After all of those papers are due, he has a few days to catch up on writing Greek notes and the thousands of pages of theological reading before exams begin. He'll finish his last exam on December 17, and until then he's going to be (and already is!) a very busy man. We're really excited because Brad's Mom is going to be coming to visit us next Monday! She's coming to help out when the baby is born, and we can't wait to have her!

Only two weeks left...At my last doctor's appointment I wasn't dialated at all, and I was told that the baby is face-up instead of face-down. I was pretty upset after hearing that! I did some research, and the baby facing this way (the wrong way) makes the chances of EVERYTHING awful increase. Like your chances of extremely tough labor, tearing to your rectum, getting a large episiotomy, needing a vacuum to get the baby out, ending up getting a C-section, etc etc. Yikes! So we would appreciate prayer for the baby to face the right direction. I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow, so we'll see what the baby has decided to do this past week. I'll keep you posted...
