News and Notes:

Maternity Leave

If I don't have the baby by Tuesday, I will be induced that evening so my maternity leave will start Wednesday.  My doctor feels it is best to get the baby outside in the world since he is ready.  I appreciate all of your prayers and support during this exciting, but uncertain time for me!  This is all very new and I look forward to learning about my role as a mom.  I will bring the baby to visit the class when the doctor approves it!  :-)
