Jason is whisking me away to NYC this weekend. We decided to "do" something else, since we will not be "due" on the 19th.
Not going to lie - it seems a bit weird to think we could/should be having a baby at this time.
But the Lord obviously has other plans for us, so until then, we are going to have some fun together in NYC.
I will be back.
Next week.
Unless something outstanding happens....let me leave you with this:

| One day we will have our Grace again |
“We have again the warning voice sounded in
our midst, which shows the uncertainty of human life; and in my leisure
moments I have meditated upon the
subject, and asked the question, why it is that infants, innocent
children, are taken away from us, especially those that seem to be the
most intelligent and interesting. The strongest reasons that present
themselves to my mind are these: This world is a very wicked world; and
it … grows more wicked and corrupt. … The Lord takes many away, even in
infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils
of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on
earth; therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have
reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall soon
have them again. …
“… The only difference between the old and
young dying is, one lives longer in heaven and eternal light and glory
than the other, and is freed a little sooner from this miserable, wicked
world. Notwithstanding all this glory, we for a moment lose sight of
it, and mourn the loss, but we do not mourn as those without hope.”
