First off, here are Paul's and my *new* cell phones! They came at the perfect time. This day seemed to fly by thanks to trying to figure out how these things work without my husband's help. I think I have the basics down.. like how to get on facebook. :) It took me forever to figure out how to call people, but I think I figured it out.. It'll take me a few days to know the ins and outs of this new phone. I'm so thankful!
The cameras on these puppies are super good too! Now I can whip my phone out and take pictures without shame because these won't be fuzzy and dark- since these little guys have a flash. Woo!
And get this- just today my other phone was freezing up and I couldn't text anyone. Isn't God good? :) His timing is perfect!
Speaking of timing..
Last night was Paul's first youth night and he did a wonderful job! His devotional was exactly what I needed.. exactly what I needed!
"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matthew 6:34
Ever since I have been put on bed rest I have worried night and day that this baby will be born without my mom here. The thought kills me! Paul's devotional and the scriptures he used were exactly what I needed to comfort my thoughts.
I had no idea I would be needing that devotional in the next hour.
By 8:00 I couldn't even think straight because of contractions. I had had some earlier in the day, but they were nothing like what I was feeling then. I didn't say anything at first. I tried to not think about them and then maybe they'd go away.
Not the case.
By 10:00 Paul and his parents took me to the hospital because they were getting stronger and more consistent. When they hooked me up to the monitor it showed that I was having good contractions every minute and they would last 30-50 seconds.
My mother-in-law kept tabs with my mom and we all thought for sure baby Zoe was coming whether I was ready or not! I tried not to think about anything.. just keep my mind clear and whatever would happen was in the Lord's will.
The nurse checked me a couple times, I stayed dilated to 2, my cervix hadn't softened, and by 2:00 a.m. the contractions were farther apart and not nearly as strong. More like uterine irritabilities.
*whew*
So, as of right now, we're still planning on my mom being here for the birth of her first grandbaby. :) As long as Zoe follows the rules!!
