Today is Sunday, January 12, 2016, 10:45 am.
We went to Vigil Mass at 7 last night. Yesterday was a really fun day. We woke up and took Ryan's car to Tires Plus to get an alignment done. Then we drove my car from there to Quick Trip to get some coffees, and I got Lee and Elora and I donuts. Then Ryan decided he wanted a donut, so I got him a long john at Paradise Donuts. After that we went to Aaron Garner's funeral at SEAS (this is Chloe's 22-year-old brother who committed suicide). Then we went to pick up Ryan's car, went home to put in a load of laundry, and went to Grandpa's house to get a new tire put on Ryan's car. Next Ryan took me on a date...maybe the last before Zeb is born :)
For our date, we walked around Towne East...we went in Helzberg and looked at some really pretty diamond rings, including the Masterpiece collection, which supposedly are perfect diamonds. The man tried to sell us a .38 carat diamond by itself for over 2,000 dollars. They were super pretty but I told Ryan I would rather have a bigger diamond that cost less, over a smaller diamond that was really sparkly.
We window-shopped and talked and had a great time as we worked up an appetite. We looked for a while in Third Planet and I bought Lee a crystal growing kit for Valentine's day. We also got accosted by the Israeli vendors who tried to sell us a small jar of salt and oil for 130 dollars. We sampled it and he tried to convince us it would help Lee's eczema.
While we were walking I experienced some pulling on my cervix. Dear Lord, please help my cervix to get ready day by day for labor. Please help me to be getting dilated!!! I trust in you to be preparing my body to go into labor naturally before the 20th. There are a lot of people praying for me and Zeb.
After the mall we decided to go eat at Genghis Grill. It was our second time...our first had been on the West Side when we were dating. It was fabulous. I got crab, shrimp, Cajun chicken, peas, cabbage, water chestnuts, a whole lot of different spices, and Teriyaki sauce, over fried rice, noodles, and an egg. Ryan got the roasted tomato sauce over his combination. It was great.
After eating we went to get the kids. Grandpa Ed and Ryan went to get some tacos and the kids ate some with Grandpa and Dustin. Elora climbed up and down, up and down the stairs. I ate ice as I have been craving that and strawberries. Ryan and Lee played video games with Dustin, and we decided next weekend we would spend the night over there so we could play video games together.
Next we left for Mass. Elora was really tired and fussy, so I had to take her to the cry room. After Mass we saw Melanie Ternes and her girls Grace and Leah. Then we went through the Braum's drive through...I got Ryan a chocolate frozen yogurt, I got a turtle sundae with pecan pie ice cream, and Lee got a dip of chocolate chip cookie dough. Lastly we went to Family Video and rented the Secret Life of Pets, which we watched part of last night, and the rest this morning.
Right now (11:30) we are listening to Keith Green and Ryan is emptying the dishwasher. Dustin is coming over at 1. I want to bake some chocolate chip cookies today, and do more laundry.
Lord, please take my cervix and uterus in your hands and help me to go into natural and safe labor for Zeb, today or very soon.
