Family Time

Tim made it home on Sunday!!!!  He even made it in earlier than expected.  I was frantic for a bit.  I hadn't cleaned the car yet, I didn't do the dishes yet, I didn't make our bed before we left for church that morning, I wasn't wearing what I had planned on wearing when we would go pick him up at the airport, and I didn't have my camera with me.  But, in the big scheme of things, those things definitely aren't that important and Tim didn't seem to mind.  If I was completely honest I'd have to say I felt very relieved that he made it in earlier than expected and that I didn't have to finish my "chores".  Maybe next time around I won't stress about having everything so "perfect"...but I have a feeling that's a lesson I'll have to learn a few times.

Tim does such a great job at switching time zones that we were able to spend all of Sunday afternoon/evening hanging out with him.  The boys didn't take any time at all getting him to wrestle with them.  They certainly miss that.  Monday and Tuesday I really started stressing about having this baby.  Since Tim made it home, I felt quite relieved, but at the same time pressured to make sure I have Blaine ASAP.  Although, I'm not sure why.  I started praying about it though because I didn't want to spend the next week or so consumed with stress about when I would go into labor.  I'm sure this is a common stress for any pregnant woman at the end of her pregnancy, but since Tim is only home for a certain amount of time it seemed to magnify.  I think I've done better these last two days.  I know that Blaine will come in God's timing, and I know that God has our best interest in mind.  I want to make sure that I am enjoying all the moments before Blaine comes with Tim while he is here.  Don't get me wrong...I'm still a little nervous/anxious, but I'm trying to continually turn that over in prayer. 

I've also been really bad about pulling out the camera.  I'm going to leave it on my kitchen table for easy access these next few days.  For the most part we've just been hanging around the house.  We've run some errands and Tim has helped get a few of those last minute things ready for Blaine (like getting the car seat out of the attic).  It's nice to just be at home but at the same time we struggle with it.  We want to get out and go somewhere, but with me being 38 weeks pregnant, major swollen feet, and a history of quick labors..close to home seems to be where it's at.  I'd rather have that though than nothing at all.
