Life in the Fast Lane
As long promised...a personal blog entry. I'd like to say that life in the fast lane is slowing down. Last week was my last week of watching Maddie Eisenbraun one day a week. Next week will be my last week of Monday night girls' Bible study (anyone interested in taking my place?). Although with these things coming to a close I have increased my OBGYN appointments to once a week. Kirk's life is also slowing down. His responsibilities in South City are slowing down and choir season is slowing down.
Today I went to my doctor and she said that I'm 2 cm dilated (that's 2 of the 10 you have to be when you begin the "pushing" phase of labor). So that was a good shock to get me moving to get ready for the birth of this baby. He's not due for another 4 weeks but will be considered full term on Friday. I'm trying not to get my hopes up for an early delivery, I could be dilated at 2 cm for 5 more weeks before going into labor. But it's definitely given me a kick in the maternity pants to register myself at the hospital and figure out exactly what we'll do with Joanna when I go to the hospital...who would like to be called in the middle of the night for "Joanna duty?" My labor was induced with Joanna so I have this fear that I won't have any idea when I'm going into labor. Any tips from fellow moms?
I'd also like to write some more about things I've been thinking through: What should worship look like for me with a toddler? What should I expect Joanna to behave like in church? What's acceptable and what's not? When Joanna gets older, what are the pros and cons to children's church? I hope to write more on this later and would love some feedback.
