Saturday Rundown

Well, we had our hospital tour today and it was quite overwhelming! The nurse we had was very nice and encouraging. THe hospital where we are delivering is very nice and BIG. There are two different towers I could end up delivering on, and we will not know until the day of where we will be. They were actually full today so we saw quite a few babies. By the time was left I was queasy as the reality of it all started to settle in. Alex went to the movie with Nicholas and took him Mother's Day shopping for Elisa. Krissy ended up having other plans so we didn't spend any time together and I went shopping for Mom's Mother's Day dinner by myself. Abbie went to Mom's tonight and Alex and I went to our first small group meeting. It was a little disappointing as we were told the people we were meeting with wanted to start a small group, but it turns out that they already are a group and have been for 4 years. So, over the next few months we are going to try really hard to form a group of our own. We really need to find some people other than our family that we can add to our life. We have changed over the past 2 years and do not have the same goals or interests as most of the people that we associate with. Some people are able to change with you or at elast you can maintain relationships as your lives changes, but in the reality of it I would say that 95% of the people we meet and become close to are just seasonal. That was a hard lesson for me to learn and accept. I was the one always wanting to hold onto people that had already moved on from me. OH well-we live and learn!
I hope that tomorrow is a good day! It is our first Mother's Day without my Grandma, but she is much happier spending the day with my Grandpa that here with us. I know that she is watching us every minute of every day and I have peace with that. Knowing she is with the person that meant the most to her is really all the peace one can ask for-well that and the blessing of having her in my life is something I treasure more than most things.
