It's the weekend!!! Praise the Lord. This week has seemed extra long for some reason, maybe it was the rain and snow and just all around cloudiness. We cannot wait for spring time. Both Joel and I just want it to be warm again. We want to lay in the green grass and soak up the sun---with our little girl!!!
I am 38 weeks and 3 days, which is pretty darn exciting if you ask me. I had an appointment this past Thursday and the doctor said everything was great and that he was proud of me for being so healthy this pregnancy. And I don't know if I'm allowed to put this on here, but I will anyway, he told me I was 1 cm dilated, which means my body is getting ready to get this baby out of me. Hallelujah!
This weekend Joel's cousin Jesse came and visited; it was pretty fun having him around. Joel really enjoyed having his non-pregnant best friend here. Joel had fun filming and messing around, and he made this.
Besides that, this weekend, I made a very yummy sub sandwich; and Joel loved it. I found an Italian loaf at Meijer in the "old bread" rack for only $1. 18 yesterday and I already had everything else. This yummy sandwich had mayonaise, spicy brown mustard, black pepper, oregano, turkey, pepperonis, sharp cheddar cheese (all this baked), and also some avocado and spicy pepperoncinis. My side of the sandwich didn't have as many pepperoncinis, mixed cheddar cheese instead of sharp cheddar, and honey mustard instead of spicy brown. That was my yummy meal for this weekend, the rest were pretty boring.
This past week I added a lot more to my baby registry at Target, so that was pretty cool. And I have been looking at baby clothes a lot. It's pretty fun. I haven't bought very much for her yet, but that'll change. And this Tuesday I have a baby shower, it's actually for two of us, Alisha and I. She's due only 4 days after me, and we're going to the same doctor, so it's been fun having someone so close with everything I'm experiencing.
I packed a little more last night for the trip to the hospital. It's crazy that it could be any day now. I just can't wait. But I have been really learning to be patient and trust God and His timing. It's super hard not knowing, and I feel like a broken record saying this, but it really is tough. It is really cool though to see God teaching me so many things through this "last leg of the race." Like I said, patience, but also joy--having joy throughout every circumstance.

1 Corinthians 13 ESV
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Philippians 2:1-11 ESV
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
