"Thank you for your faithful and generous support of your sponsored child, Amie Ellie, during a challenging time in her life. The purpose of this letter is to update and inform you about her pregnancy. We have been notified by our in-country staff that Amie delivered a baby girl in our COTN clinic. The baby's name is Ruth and she has been dedicated to the Lord at our COTN church. Amie and Ruth are both doing very well. Amie was able to take her school exams before giving birth and she passed the National Primary School Exams. When she returns to school, she will be in Junior Secondary School 1 which is equivalent to 7th grade. Enclosed is a photo of Amie and her daughter Ruth…"
As much as I would like to see her smiling, I am so thankful that she is healthy and so is baby Ruth (HA!). This made my heart smile yesterday :) I am so happy that COTN understands that this is important to me and that they are keeping me in the loop. Please continue to keep Amie in your prayers as she raises baby Ruth (HA!).
In other baby news, Peanut is growing, thriving and preparing! We went in for my weekly check-up today and Dr Stone says we are 3cm dialated now! On Friday I lost my 'flower pot' (aka, mucus plug). We're calling it a flower pot (thanks to Lynn) because the real term is actually not very fun to say. So, after much debate I decided to go ahead and go down to Orlando for my last baby shower. Unfortunately Ant couldn't go at the last minute because he was assigned too much school work over the weekend. The whole weekend I just took it easy and prayed that I didn't go into labor! The shower was AMAZING!! I had so much fun (despite the fact that I was sans husband) and loved spending time with family and friends. It's always so good to be back and it makes me miss it so much. Thank you to everyone who made the shower so special. It was so cute and everything was peanut themed! It's always a bonus to have creative friends :) Hopefully those of you who took pictures will share so I can post soon!
So, here I am, back in Savannah and now we just work (a LOT) and wait. Peanut is moving around like crazy and sometimes I feel like he/she is going to punch out of my uterus. I can't wait to see him/her! We are so excited, but we are both SO busy, so hopefully peanut can keep cookin' for another week or 2 so I don't go completely crazy with unfinished work. Speaking of… I gotta get back to work now!
peace.
