"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Life at 36 weeks...

Ok I'm only doing this because I have friends asking to see!!! :)
I had a red letter day at my OB check yesterday. I don't have group B strep! yay! It's not that big of a deal, but I had it with AnnMarie, and it's just one more thing, IV, etc. You know.
Also, I'm dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced! woohoo! I know---some of you are like, what's the big deal? Well, I never progressed that far with AnnMarie before her due date, so it's exciting for me this time. And---I am very aware that I could just sit at a 1 for the next weeks, but still, it's good to know that my body is doing things a little faster this time!
I am busily checking things off my list preparing for our trip to the hospital and life at home with baby Clark.
Here's to a fabulous next 25 days!
