Daddy Daughter Dance

Here's a pic of Joe & Mykah at the Daddy Daughter Valentine's Dance earlier this month. They both got all dressed up for their date and make quite a striking couple, don't you think?! They both had a great time...Mykah was glowing like a candle when she got home! Apparently, when the Electric Slide song came on, no one knew the dance. Except for Joe, that is. He got out there and showed the whole place how to do the dance-none of you that know him are surprised, are you?! After it was over, one of the older girls who was there came over to Mykah and said, "your dad is sooo cool"!

We're still waiting for Josh...funny how the doctors/midwives were worried 6 weeks ago that he was going to be born too soon, now he doesn't want to exit the uterus! Joe & Mykah have had the week off, I'm done working, my mom is here and we get to just sit & wait! At the risk of sounding like my 2 year old, it's not fair!! I'm dialated to a 2, 70% effaced and he's engaged. I swear I can feel him getting bigger by the second. My other babies were 6lb7oz & 6lb14oz, but as of today, I'd given birth to both by this point in pregnancy. Mykah was 15 days early, and Max was 4 days early. That would be today for Josh, but I don't even have a twinge :( As much as Joe & I didn't want to be induced, the doctor's appt tomorrow may spark a different point of view. Especially since tomorrow's appt. is the last one we scheduled! If I had a choice, I'd have the babies that come close to due date first, then the early ones later. Everyone, including the doctors/midwives, assume since the first one is early, the latter ones will be, as well. My pregnancies have gotten longer each time. Oh well, we're just super excited to meet him and it's making all of us a little irrational (mostly me)!

The other part of this that is so tender is that Joe missed his brother Mike's funeral because they've told us since February 2nd that Josh could be born any day. Joe (and his entire family) felt he should stay with me instead of return to Utah. I think I'd've felt better if Josh came within days of Mike's passing or funeral, that would've justified Joe staying here. It didn't work out that way, and we know that there's some reason behind all of it. This may be one of those things we aren't meant to understand, just to have faith, so we will. In the meantime, I continue to bask in the blessing of having such a wonderful, dedicated husband. Thank you to all who called Joey with condolences for Mike. We both appreciate you all. For all of you who knew Shauna, do you think she's still alternating between hugging Mike and yelling at him?!

I'm serious this time...no more posts until Josh is here!
