Well, today is the due date. Baby Owens is officially 40 weeks inside my belly. Decided it liked the location so it is staying there a little longer. I picture this baby in a hammock drinking a virgin pina colada for some reason already enjoying life. As Dave and I have prayed for Baby Owens we have asked for a gentle spirited baby that is a good sleeper. We will see about the good sleeper but so far, we have a gentle spirited baby that is relaxed.
And how are mom and dad? Well, interestingly enough, relatively calm - most of the time. Mom maybe is a little more anxious because rumor has it a c-section might be the only way for Baby Owens to make his or her debout. However, prayer works and she and dad are both praying along with lots of other people for a natural birth which means Baby Owens needs to move. The doctor's appointment on Tuesday will determine a course of action. In the meantime, we wait. This weekend holds the following:
A round of Frisbee golf for Dave and the dogs tomorrow morning (Em might walk the course).
Birthday party for a 1 year old tomorrow at noon time.
Dinner and games with our friends, the Schmidtgalls tomorrow night.
Church on Sunday where Em is teaching
Frisbee Golf tournament in Bloomington for Dave on Sunday
The cell phones are turned on and charged should anything crazy like Em going into labor happen. However, all is calm at the moment. Guess we should enjoy it but in some ways, it is too quiet. There is a balance between being excited and anxious and being patient. We are resting somewhere in the middle. Dave is still working on the nursery and has actually closed the door so that I can't see in. He wants the finishing touches to be a surprise. He is so excited! He has done such nice job as of late working on the rooms. I will have to post some pictures once I can get into the nursery.
Well, time for bed. Maybe more blogging tomorrow, maybe not. ..

Hi Em----Did I ever tell you that Shane was two weeks late??? He too was very comfortable where he was---I am praying my friend!! Love, Cherry
Hi Em and Dave,
I am getting very excited about the coming of the new baby. Girl or boy it will be lots of fun to hold her or him, and smell their new baby smell (a nice smell most of the time), and talk to them and sing little baby songs full of happiness and love. I will continue to pray that all will be in devine order (Grandma Neff's favorite phrase when God is involved) and we soon have a healthy beautiful baby girl or boy.
Love, Dad
Dave and Em: We are praying for you and Baby Owens today, and for wisdom for the medical folks who will be (or are) making decisions on how to proceed. So grateful that God is in control. Love, N&M
