I'm almost there!

    So FIVE whole days left till my due date! Wow! Baby should be joining us before we know it. I'm not sure if I think Baby will be on time or not, but I want Baby to be on time. I can't make up my mind if I think I'll have a big baby, an average baby or a small baby, and whether it's a boy or a girl. Lol! I guess it's hard to know when you just don't.
    These last few weeks have been filled with getting ready for Baby and starting school. I've been wearing myself out baking and filling the freezer. The kids are even beginning to get tired of my putting it all away before they can have any. I'm trying to take a relaxed approach to school though. A learn as needed or as desired attitude. Mostly with Damara, I guess. Everyone else pretty much does their own thing so I just let them.
     We went on a picnic and a walk at Lucia Falls last Wednesday. I kinda wanted to do something to enjoy what I figured to be the last nice day of the year. The bees were a nuisance though. We had to eat quickly and walk away from the other food. I really enjoyed the walk and beautiful weather despite the bees.
       The plan is to have Baby at home assuming all continues to go well. I ask for your prayers, though I know most of you already offered that you were praying. Thank you! We are in God's hand. The Bible says something to the extent that man makes his plans, but God is the one who makes them happen that way or not. My goal and desire would be that Baby would be born at home, happy, and healthy with no complications, but I pray we would know if and when we should go to the hospital if it should come to that. I pray my midwife, Mary, would have wisdom and discernment about what to do and when. That she, also, would know if and when we should go to the hospital. I know not everyone agrees with home birth, but I hope you would offer up your prayers on our behalf anyway. It is God's hand of blessing and protection that we all need.
      Carson had been busier than ever most of the summer, but I am thankful that things seem to be slowing down. I know so many still don't have a lot of work, but being too busy has its challenges too. Especially with kids and being pregnant. So I pray we will have enough, but that we could also have a season of more rest now that Baby will be here soon.
      So Baby coming is definitely what occupies my mind most of the time. I guess it's only natural. Maybe I'll have my new little one next time I update. Otherwise I may be grouchy and overdue. Lol! Until next time....God bless you, Mindy
