man, what is with babies not cooperating!?? Shannon is still preggo-she was due 3 days after you and we were really hoping to meet our niece!! It’s so sad! I hope baby Fine happens soon! Also, has Mindy managed to avoid the trend in her family of getting so sick? I hope so! We’ll be praying for you guys! Sadly, I have to unsubscribe to this…won’t be able to handle much email. But I’ll still pop in periodically (or at least am planning on it :o)
Thanks for your awesome goodbye message!!

The average first baby comes a week and a half after the due date when people don’t get impatient and start screwing around with things. So be patient. She won’t pregnant forever.

Wow, thanks you two for the encouragement. It’s been a little rough this past few days, really hopeful, then depressing. It’s a rollercoaster of emotion at times, but we are making it through. Thanks so much for the kind words.

You speak such words of truth! Thank you so much for sharing this here.

Continue to be patient with your new daughter (and Mindy’s body). These are definately things we cannot control. But I assure you the result will be beautiful and glorious and well worth the wait.

Tell Mindy I am praying daily for her. From someone who’s been there herself, I know it’s really tough waiting it out, and trusting that things will go *exactly* the way they are supposed to…without freaking out that something’s gone wrong or getting impatient with the whole process…especially when you have your own (and everyone else’s) expectations and timeline pulling at you.

But the journey is a rewarding one and so full of blessings. Just enjoy it for what it is- the last few days where you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the little one is safe and secure, and helping Mindy focus on enjoying these last precious, very intimate moments in utero. They are so short and fleeting in the grand scheme of things, and she will no doubt look back on this time with great love and longing one day.

Don’t worry…Your baby will arrive soon. I promise!! :)

Peace,
Jamie

It’s really interesting to watch you deal with fatherhood, parenthood, and all that means. I’ll be praying for a quick and smooth delivery.

Also, I’m really looking forward to you coming up here.
