I Thought We'd Have a Baby Today

Yesterday in church I was reminded of a conversation I had with Kurt's sister Angela, just after Emily was born; about how, even though we'd like to think we are, we are not in control ~ of life, of circumstance, etc. . Thankfully, the Lord IS in control, so there's no need to panic. :)
I thought about this all through our meetings yesterday, adding it mentally to the testimonies I heard others bear.
This morning I caught the date ~ 9-8-08 ~ and realized that this was the day I thought we'd have a baby. All of our babies have been late and because we were looking for a VBAC, we couldn't do anything to induce until my body said it was ready. My due date was around the 3rd (or the 5th, depending on which source you chose), so the 8th was a real possibility. Plus it fell into the two categories I needed it to ~ it was a Monday and the numbers hit just the right spot, that I have yet to be able to describe, but they made me happy.
Anyhow, you know that our little beauty arrived two weeks ago ~ two weeks ago today in fact ~ and that is wonderful. I am VERY glad not to be in labor today!!
