Since the end of summer camps, Summer has been working her Premier Designs business full-time. One more show tonight, and then she goes on maternity leave until October (or maybe just the end of September, depending on when LB decides to make an appearance).
We enjoyed spending time with Tom, JoAnn, and Daniel in late July/early August, and have been working to get everything ready for the baby. JoAnn helped Summer organize and get things set up, and since then Summer and Jon have gathered everything we need for our home water birth. Now...now we just wait. As we are now considered "term" (at 38 1/2 weeks), the baby could come any time! We are also now down to once-a-week midwife visits until the birth. Because of the baby dropping, Summer has also been going to the chiropractor every week - it's amazing how much a baby in the pelvis can throw the lower back out!
As far as notification of LB's birth - we probably won't be online much right after the baby is born, but we have a plan set for letting everyone know:
Summer's dad has a contact list for people in her family and friends of both Jon & Summer. Jon will call his parents, who will then have the liberty of letting everyone in his family know (although there will be those who Jon will be calling himself, besides his parents). Summer's dad will also be posting to Facebook after all of the phone calls have been made.
Several things to pray for:
- That Jon will quickly find employment. We have enough to cover everything in September, but come October, things get a lot tighter.
- For wisdom - that Jon will learn what God has for him, and for wisdom in decision-making and finances.
- For Summer and LB as birth draws nearer.
