Monday....

Man. It's been a long day. I could really use your prayers. Mostly legal stuff. Please pray that all the right paperwork gets to all the right people at all the right times. By Monday. Because that's when Amanda's going to get induced - IF she doesn't go into labor this weekend, which I happen to think is extremely possible. But I've been wrong about that kind of stuff before.....

She's dilated to 2 and we're both feeling extremely relieved that the birthday/birth day is in sight. I think I've got travel details worked out. Except for today. If she goes into labor tonight I don't know what I'm going to do. Justin is at work and well.... I just have no idea how that would all go down. If she gets induced on Monday we'll drop the kids off at my mom's house on Sunday night, I'll drive down with Justin to work at 4 a.m. on Monday morning and then my dear friend Carol will take me to the airport around nine. If you knew Carol, you would know what a blessing this will be. She is one of the most wise, calming women I know. She will be just what I need.

I also don't know how the paperwork situation would be if she went into labor tonight. But I decided earlier this morning that this is the Lord's deal. Number one, I don't have enough emotional energy left to deal with it and number two, more than anything - I want to be obedient to the Lord in not worrying about it and not choosing to push things along in my own strength. He will work out all the details. I am confident.

I am praying I'll get some good sleep tonight as I've been tossing and turning and having nightmares for the last few nights. I want to be fresh when the time comes for me to go.

Beathe in, breathe out. Everything will work out just fine. Maybe a hiccup here or there, but nothing you can't manage, and in the end--you'll get your baby girl!

I'm confident, too, Cutzi.

God has all the details in His hands.

I'm praying!

Cutzi,

The kids and I have been praying for you (all) every morning.

Remember if you need any "kid backup" we'd love to have Steele and Adia over :0)

Your brother Gabe is worried about all of this. How do I know? He wants to know ALL the details of the paperwork and what it's for and why there wasn't these problems with Steele and Adia, and on and on (you know how he gets). I told him that I don't know all the details and it's hard to explain, that we just need to pray. Trust and faith are hard, but it's really all we have.
Sleep well. I love you.

I'll be praying. And let me know if there's anything I can do. I can be a back-up ride to the airport if you need one.

She's almost here!

I have been praying hard Cutzi! The Lord already has every detail in control. Rest if you can. BEfore you know it that sweet girl will be in your arms, right where she is supposed to be.

XOXO,

Sarah

Poor Cutz.

It's hard to not have all that stuff within your control, isn't it? Don't worry - it will all work out - and like Sarah says, your sweet baby girl will be in your arms, right where she belongs. With a big brother and sister to keep her company, wake her up, kiss her head and smother her with attention and love! Oooo! I'm so excited!
