I think God is teaching me a lesson...or trying. Patience, apparently is something i lack. I think being such a dedicated planner, list maker, task doer-I get to thinking that my "plan" is written in stone only because it is written in the 3 planners that i carry with me.
We had another amnio test on tuesday and my little angel child is still not ready. I cant believe it! I was supposed to have her over a week ago. Her lungs- while slowly improving are still not even to the "borderline" point of being ready. Her poor doctors are as anxious as we are! It sometimes feels like i am going to be pregnant for the rest of my life. I enjoy it- dont get me wrong. But lately the pain has been unbareable and that is causing me to have a sour attitude. She is going to have her dad's personality i think...."if you tell me to hurry up, ill take even more time just to make you mad." Stubborn they are!!!
I, obviously wont be attending the color drive this year and selfishly- I am having a REALLY hard time with that. Its weird how much a break in tradition can get you down!! I think she would enjoy going and mom should just pick me up at the hospital and we'll head strait to Illinios. No one else thinks this is very smart:)
On the lighter side. Rudy and I got "baptised" (as mom called it) by Kool Aid at 5 o'clock this morning!! He has this thing about having to take a drink to bed with him. It reminds me of a 4 year old- but regardless its a habbit. So, last night he brought the worlds largest glass of Kool Aid.... bright red Kool Aid to bed and sat it on this ledge below our window so it would be close to reach. We also decided- it was such a gorgeous night- we'd sleep with the windows open and just keep the shades pulled to block out some of hte wind. Well it was windy alright! And apparently at 5 this morning the wind was so strong that it caught the bottom of the glass of Kool Aid and sent it flying into the air, right down on top of us both and our white down comforter. We both shot straight up and while rudy was laughing hysterically i was screaming about what an idiot he is. So, after the sheets were changed and a new comforter put on- We just laid in bed, laughing for about an hour. It must have been one of those "so tired its funny" things becuase we couldnt stop... when really, i was quite annoyed. What a great way to start the day... Covered in Kool Aid. NOT!
Sorry for not updating as much as i normally do on here- my computer is ill with a virus and the trusty phillippe is working on it. so, until i get to a library or my parents house, i have no way to keep in touch :(
Hopefully the week will go fast- im trying to stay busy as to not go insane. I am at the l ibrary now and will take home some cookbooks and maybe some magazines to entertain myself. Hoping to have a little fall get together and mom and dads on saturday for some "color drive pretending". Cant wait to meet my little girl on Monday!!! (and this is a DEFINETE date!!! HOORAY)

Meghan, I know how you feel, my girls were 14 days and 4 days overdue, ugh, and they were big too, but big babies are great, not so scary to handle. If you get bored over the next couple of days, come on over, I have 5 babies here and it will make you say, OK, I can wait a few more days for her. Just kidding, the babies I have are great and adorable. Seriously, you can come and visit if you feel like it, just give me a call, 987-1734, I just live over by the high school in waukee, I would love it. Take care and know we are praying for you, Rudy and the baby and I guarantee, she is going to be beautiful. See you, Barb Wright
Man, I sure hope the kool-aid comes out of your bedding...Tell Rudy, it's water only outside of the kitchen. Baptism by a pastor and water are the way God prefers it but Kool-aid sure is more funny.
I know how anxious you are but you have great doctors so you need to trust them all the way through this. We'll find a craft festival somewhere close to home and if we have to, we will make our own apple fritters and pork sandwiches.
We love you and are keeping you,Rudy and baby V. in our prayers. We are trusting God to have this situaiton in control and to 'work all things for good for those that love the Lord".
XOXO
Mom and Dad
