I purposefully planned a very busy day today so I could try to keep my mind occupied with productive tasks while I waited ever so anxiously for the news of Baby JP's arrival date. Nicole text me earlier today and said she was sitting in the doctor's office, waiting for her appointment. I forwarded that to JP and thought, "Ok, this is it, we are finally going to get something planned out here!" I continued checking things off my to do list as I waited to hear back from her. Almost 2 painfully agonizing hours later, she text and said, "You aren't going to believe when I am going to have the baby." and that was it......no date, no other info, just that! Needless to say, I was shaking as I waited 3 horribly looooonng minutes later for her to say it would be next Friday, July 13 at 8:00 Pacific time. Now, that's important to remember friends because that means it will be 10:00 here....so don't start texting me at 8am in Missouri asking me if the baby is here!!!!!
Of course, immediately after I knew I text JP on his way home from work and told him. Now, some of you may be aware of his intense, all be it irrational, fear of flying. I love to fly so I really can't emapathize with him on this, which means it just irritates me. He is excited about the baby but not about flying which makes this not as fun for him as it is for me. So, say a prayer for JP as he deals with his nerves over flying to California.
We have enlisted the help of my Dad to help us iron out travel details. I am past ready to hand the reins over on some of the details to someone else!! I have felt so completely overwhelmed the past few days that I was glad when Dad said he wanted to help with that!! Now we just have to finish checking the rest of the things off our list of things to do before the baby gets here and pack our bags!
WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!!!!!!
You are going to be a mommy
