Made it to 37!

37 weeks that is! Yay! I was praying a lot that she would just make it to "full term" which is 37weeks....that happened last Thursday! Yay! Things have been a little nutty since the Dereocho that we had here. Let me back up, last Friday a wild storm ripped through our area leaving millions without power, us included. Then the next day, Saturday, we got a call from Leighanne that she finally did want to take our friends offer of a free place to stay & move here, so Saturday afternoon with no power Leighanne packed up her car & moved to Lynchburg. This probably would not have been a big deal had the power been on, but since it wasn't we didn't feel right sending her to a house without power. So she stayed with us. Never in our wildest dreams did we picture ourselves here, living with the birth mother of our child. The freaky thing is, it doesn't feel awkward. It should, please don't miss that, but we made it work. Ella absolutely loves her too! I was glad to see the power come back on, on Tuesday night though. While it could have been a much worse awkward situation, I was still thankful for separate living quarters. So she is here, living in her apartment, and we are waiting on Alivia's arrival. Still do not question Leighanne, she has not wavered once in her choice once it was made....so here we are, waiting & ready to meet our daughter. I go through waves of fear, but all in all God has His peace resting on me & I'm thankful. This next week (Wednesday) we celebrate Ella's 2nd birthday...wouldn't that be true God fashion if two years to the date we welcome our 2nd baby. A dream of mine come true. Amazing. <3
