VBS week was packed full with all kinds of activity for this little family! The next couple of weeks promise to be just as busy and entertaining! Besides our VBS Olympics this year, the two things most worth mentioning would be the quick but enjoyable visit of my cousin and his family. They got married right around the same time we did, except that we missed their wedding because we were due back home after our honeymoon. Since then, we've only seen them a couple of times and, actually they didn't know Adriana and we didn't know their youngest who is one year old. They were visiting her brother in Mass. and decided to take a longer stroll and meet us at the mall for a very, very late lunch! We visited for a couple hours but it was very well worth it!
The not-so-good part of the week is a letter I got in the mail on Thursday. In a nutshell, it tells me that my OB/G is relocating, thus as of September 27th his office will be closed!!! So, half-way through this pregnancy I have to find someone new to assist the delivery of this baby!!! If only I knew someone I trusted enough to have this baby at home I would be the happiest, but that's not the case, so I have to find new hospital, new doctor and I don't have all that time to take my time in picking and choosing. I decided that so as not to overwhelm myself I will limit my choices to two: the first one is a doctor, who is a believer; the second is the group of midwives in the area. They both have their pros and cons but we'll see what happens. In the end it all boils down to my previous post, in whom do I trust. Yes we very heavy heartedly see this wonderful doctor off but in the end it has been God's hands and His hands alone where my life and that of my babies has rested all along. If I'd have my way, I'd go to an independent birthing center with midwives or have a home birth but for one or another reason none of those are viable options right now. We trust that the Lord's leading will be in the midst of this decision just as He was leading us when we found this doctor. I'll keep you posted!
