By the way, here's a little update: I've had some contractions, but nothing very consistent yet; I wasn't dilated at all as of last Thursday; I'll find out tomorrow if that has changed at all. I'm not gonna lie, it's hard going to the doctor without Chris right now because the appointments are a getting little scarier each time and I've always had such a fear of doctors and hospitals. But I've been praying my heart out to overcome the fear and to be brave and calm and all that stuff, and I have felt helped. So I wouldn't say I'm terrified; mostly just impatient!

A Jessica Original
I'm not a good photographer, and I'm not sure anyway what picture could do justice to the lovelies I received from Jessica today, but hopefully you can get a feel for it. This onesie (which is a seriously delightful yellow) has the most wonderful owl on it; she said it was her first attempt at applique. Well, sister, I'm totally dazzled. Not to mention the adorable shoes she painted. I can't get over it. My daughter has such creative women in her life; she's such a lucky girl!

Labor
No, not that kind...not yet anyway.
I'm talking about the past 3 weeks of Chris being gone. It wasn't easy.
I'm leaving in a few minutes to go pick him up from the airport. I can't wait to see him and just be beside him again.

Day 1 of 19
Chris left for Indianapolis this morning for training for his new job. I took him to the airport around 6am our time, and he got to Indy around 4pm their time (it's a 2-hour time difference). He'll be gone till the 23rd and I am sad sad sad. We're really lucky in that we usually get to be together seriously all the time, and in that we honestly like to be together that much. So it was pretty hard watching him leave this morning. Maeby and I cried some big alligator tears when we dropped him off, but then we decided we'd better be strong from then on. Day 1 has been pretty good as a matter of fact: my sisters knew I'd be having a hard time so they said let's get some lunch, and we did; Ashley and I did a little shopping; Maeby and I went for a walk in the cold; I had a neat and interesting scripture study; and my dad got me and Olive a delicious chocolate milkshake. Anyway, while I do miss him terribly, I know this is a great opportunity for both of us to do some important individual growth and I'm grateful for that. I just hope I don't go into labor before he gets home!
