august
there's an old joke/saying about how you should never pray for patience, because if you do, God will send you something to teach you to be patient. well that's us. ugh. COME ON BABY ALREADY!!!
so it's finally august. for a while there we honestly thought the baby would be here by now. if your doctor tells you your baby is going to come early, DONT believe him! he doesnt know any better than you do, and then you'll be going crazy. thanks so much, doctor prophet.
so we watch movies. and we go swimming. Michelle's even been knitting again. I've been avoiding mowing the lawn for quite some time, thanks partly to the rains. but I keep the kitchen spotless each night, in case this is the night. our bags are packed. and we wait.
we still pray for patience, because that's what we need everyday. I've been told we'll look back at these last days with fondness, and I'm sure that's true. but now that Michelle's sister's babies are here, we feel all the more ready. so come on little guy. we're waiting for you.

Clean the bathroom Bob! It'll need it. Have lots of anti-bacterial soap in the bathrooms because as new parents you'll want to wash your hands like, all the time! And relax, once you relax it'll happen before ya know it! 8 days, that's how long I waited-but I knew Josiah would be late.
how did you know our bathroom is a mess? are you spying on us? I guess it's not a difficult guess.
i think all doctors should tell expectant parents that the baby will probably come at 40 weeks or later -- that way you can be pleasantly surprised if the babe comes earlier. i'm looking forward to news of your baby's arrival... just don't keep us in blogland waiting too long for pictures!
ok the bathroom is now clean (but I avoided the lawn again). and no worries, I'll have pics online as soon as possible.
