No Baby YET!

I am driving my family nuts, if I call and I don't have news of a baby, they don't want to talk to me! I am still pregnant and happy. I don't think this baby is going to come this week, and I am already past a few of the dates that were guesses (Odessa!). I have started to dilate, but that could still mean days. My doctor's office told me they hoped they didn't see me this week, but I told them I'd be in! Brig and I toured our hospital this past weekend... it is small. They have 3 labor and delivery rooms and all were empty! It is a private hospital that is just about 1.8 miles from our apartment. We are getting the best care all paid by our wonderful insurance. Can't beat that! Brig is getting excited and ready to take some paternity leave. He is a busy boy at work. He oficially found out that he will deploy with his unit in April to Camp Bucca for 15 months. The good news - he doesn't have to go with them this Sat. for the 3 week training, this mission is about as safe as they come, he will have internet access in his trailor, and he will miss the baby's sleeping, eating, and pooping days (if you know Brig, you know that he loves children ages 2-4 when they are active and have life - it kills him to think he would miss that part of his child's life.) So, we can only say we are blessed. Originally, he was suppose to go right after we met - then he got an order to leave this past Dec. that fell through - the Lord has guided and protected us throughout, we must continue to trust Him.
