Due day

  Well here it is, January 3rd 2016. No baby in my arms yet, but that's okay. When it's time, it's time. Today was a great day though. I woke up and my husband goes "it's snowing outside!" We looked out the window to see snow, and little birds playing in it. Then I looked at my phone, and my phone's calendar countdown app reminded me that today is little bear's due date. I smiled, knowing I probably won't go into labor today, but that the day is soon approaching. :) Since it's Sunday, we had church. This year, we moved at the change of the year and our new ward starts at 1. It was so nice not having to get up at 7:30 to get ready for church. It was also really fun introducing myself to people because almost everyone noticed that I am clearly pregnant and asked when I was due, to which I got to reply "Today" and see their faces go from a sweet smile to shock. All three of the women who asked said afterward "Well kudos to you for being here! I slept so much around my due date!" Confession: I had a three hour nap today :)
  Corry made a wonderful soup with a pork roast, hominy, carrots, onion and red potatoes tonight for dinner. He's such a good cook. He made a wonderful deep dish pizza in our cast iron this week when I told him I was craving pizza. He's so talented and so thoughtful.
  Not much else happened today. I've had some contractions, and I still feel kind of flu-like. I'm going to call my midwife tomorrow and even though I have a doctors appointment the next day on Tuesday, I'm going to ask for a stretch and sweep tomorrow morning if I haven't gone into labor yet. Corry starts school tomorrow. I'm nervous to be without him if I go into labor. I hope it happens soon.
