Today I remember how cold it was 6 years ago while I sat waiting for my doctor's appointment to arrive and my parents to arrive so I could go to it. I remember shivering as we drove to Winnipeg to the appt and how we waited from 4pm until 7pm before we got to see him only to have him send me across the street to the hospital for ultrasound and them to keep me. I remember the fear adn excitement I felt when the doctor told me sorry, you need the c-section after all and we'll do it soon. I remember Derk calling the kids to let them know we'd be staying and then the kids got on the internet which was dial up at the time and so that meant when he tried to call home we couldn't even tell them the c-section was happening in a few minutes. Next time he got through, I had two beautiful little girls in my arms!!! What a shock for them!
Today has been a very slippery and awful day on the highways and probably worse on Derk's way home. He had to stop and help a couple who drove into the ditch right in front of him! Scary!
Josh and I are talking Christmas this morning, then I need to get some housework on the go and get my kids in school. Josh works this afternoon. We got paper yesterday to make murals and things for the play at church so that should mean several hours of painting but it will be fun!
I need to figure out the costumes for each child and make sure we have them ready to go. So much to do and so little time, but it's all coming together at least! Working on some songs and things too and we should have a good concert.
I also need to find some clothes somewhere for my poor prego body to wear! I'm outgrowing everything!
Derwin and I are planning on attending a conference and I need clothing plus need to make sure everything is prepared for us and kids. So more stuff to do.
Time to get started!
