pat took rebekah to her swim meet. i just couldn't do it...the heat or the questions from everyone.
i stayed home with Joshua and Bailey. it's 8:45 am. i've done 2 loads of laundry, vacuumed, swept, mopped, fed them breakfast, caught up on email, did some work for the nursery at church.
and am still waiting to have this baby.
joshua and bailey have played so nicely together. thank you, Lord!
i can't believe i haven't posted a picture since Monday. here's some from this morning.
lots of "taking care of babies" going on around here...i guess it's on everyone's mind!
this is joshua and bailey sleeping in their tent...and joshua got up to "fight the Indians" (this is because we watch Little House on the Prairie)
people often ask us what we're going to do with our living room. why would we do anything when it can be used like this? :-) some days it's a soccer field, some days it's a campground, some days it's a place for a picnic.
pat and rebekah should be home in a little bit. we still have a long day ahead of us...waiting...and trying not to go crazy.

Ugh. We were at VBS and the Carnival all day yesterday, and I thought for sure that I had missed the news. When I drove past your house last night about 10 pm it was pitch dark so I thought you might be at the hospital. Or let's just say, I was hoping you were. It won't be much longer now. Just hang in there and try to take it easy. And sleep...oh yeah try and sleep because that will be a hot commodity for you soon. I hope NOT to see you at church tomorrow ;)
Hard to think of anything to say that hasn't already been said by someone else...
I was finally induced 10 days past my due date with our 2nd baby, and that was the longest 10 days of my life! It was the not knowing...anticipating and expecting and going to bed each night after another day with no baby, then waking up each morning after another night with no baby. It's hard. And, everyone questions you everywhere you go. You STILL haven't had that baby!?
I guess what I'm trying to say, is I can feel your pain girl. That's helpful, right :)
I will lift you in prayer many times today Courtney. May God strenghten you and comfort you, both physically and emotionally as you wait.
saw a picture from mom yesterdy you look great. love the living room have done good. the kids doing good. well be soon hang in there, dr on monday so hope he well tell you more...... or have it before i well pray for that. It is ok let it out courtney. we love you aunt kim
i am praying for you....for peace and patience. it will end SOON! i promise!!!!
Sophie was 5 days late and finally came. Lawson was 8 days late when they induced me. I have no idea when he ever would have come on his own. The bright side... both my labors were fast and easy! Praying you have the same. And soon! :)
Our "dining room" is like your "living room" - it's so great having the empty space to just play!!! I'm glad Pat was able to take Rebekah this morning (I think swim team is almost over, right??) - it's all the questions that most made me crazy at this point ("WHEN are you going to have that baby?" I just wanted to smack people when they would ask me that...like I know!) Hang in there - keep perspective...knowing that these days are your last ones with your 3. Praying so much these last few days that this baby is going to extra healthy and extra strong. Love you!
Still praying for you and thinking of you daily. It will all be over soon. Keep busy and rest when you can to pass the time. We love you so very much!! Much Love, Christy
the waiting is so hard! i'm thinking of you and will be praying for these waiting days to not feel so horrible for you. keep dreaming of that precious baby!! it can only be a short while longer and it will be worth the long wait these 9 months have been!! being on the other side of things reminds me how long it seemed to be that Addison would come and now i can't believe that 7 weeks have passed and she's already looking less and less "new". cherish each day as i know you will!!!
Courtney, you are so precious :) You are on my heart every moment and I so empathize (is that the right word??) with every emotion you are feeling right now...I truly thought that if anyone else called or asked me "you're STILL pregnant" I was gonna lose it! :) But the sweetest most encouraging things were the constant reminders that God is IN control---and He knows every single detail---and that you WON'T be pregnant forever--no matter how you feel!! :) Love you sweet girl!!! Hang in there!
Can you add some more photos?

Hang in there, girl. The baby will be here before you know it.
So I keep checking your blog about every 5 minutes it seems (less annoying for YOU than calling you every 5 minutes, right?) David finally said - "why do you keep checking it? Do you think she's going to post on her blog when she leaves for the hospital?" And I said "I hope so!!!" It'd be easier than calling me, right? :) So....are you going to post when you leave for the hospital???
