The day my son came into the world

5am I woke up with a sudden urge to pee. Before I could get out of bed, I felt a warm trickle gush out of me. I should have been doing those Kegels more diligently. I called the labour and delivery hotline and told them either my water broke or I just peed in my pants. They advised me to put on a pad and see if it gets soaked within an hour. I went back to sleep and wake up five hours later. My pad is still fairly dry, except every time I go to the bathroom, I see tinges of blood coming out. I called​ the hotline again.

Chocolate chip cookies

Before the baby arrives, I hope to spend my days meaningfully, catching up on personal projects and getting myself and the house ready for our baby. With the extra time I have, I hope I never have to use the excuse that I didn't have time to meditate on God's word or spend time daily in prayer. I hope not to neglect stepping out of the house and getting some fresh air and exercise.
