Due Date

"You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you as you are to them."

It's baby's due date. Where's baby? I will go in for another NST tomorrow morning followed by an appointment to see if there is any progress. My parents got into town last night so they'll be here to keep an eye on our 6 children and will be here for when baby decides to come out.
I did get phone calls from our children's teachers and went in to meet 3 of them today. My husband took our oldest to get his schedule and locker set up. So now we've met all of our children's teachers and have dropped off all their supplies. We're ready. Let's do this baby :o)
I went to our church, St. Mary's, tonight for Eucharistic Adoration - Benediction. It was a nice, peaceful moment. I sat in the back row next to the stained-glass window of St. Veronica. She is the one who wiped Jesus' face while He was carrying the cross. This is also the name we have chosen if our little one is a girl. Veronica / "Ronnie". I think it's a beautiful name and I like that it is the name of a woman in the Bible who showed great care and love for Jesus. If our little one is a boy we like the name Jacob / "Coby". Follows the story of Rachel and Leah (2 of our daughters) in the Bible.
This will be a short one tonight. It's hard to type on a laptop when you don't have much of a lap. It keeps slipping. I should get some rest in case tomorrow turns out to be an extra special busy day.
