Welcome, Peter!

He's finally arrived! We are happy to announce the birth of Peter Hendrik! Peter was born right on his due date, November 17, at 9:21 in the morning. Weighing 8 lbs 3 oz, all is well with the little guy and we are so happy to finally be able to hold him in our arms! Praise God for His many blessings! What an honour and a privilege (and a huge responsibility!) to be given this covenant child. May the Lord grant Mike and I all we need to raise Peter in the fear and glory of His name!

Bummer

The last post I made was Post #111. I posted it on November 12.
Why, oh why, didn't I post it on 11/11?
It would have been so much prettier.

Quick Update

Well, after some half-hearted looking, I still haven't found my inspiration. It's probably lost under a chair or shoved under the couch or something, a little too low for me to be able to find it. If only I had left it on the bookshelf, or on the table, or the kitchen counter, it might have been a little easier for me to see! It seems that finding it back will have to wait until this watermelon is no longer preventing me from being able to bend over.
The "countdown" is now down to 5 days... my guess is another two weeks or so. I mean, if you take a look at the weather outside today - wet, cold, gloomy - I wouldn't want to go out either! Maybe Baby is waiting for snow... as long as he or she doesn't wait for a snow storm, to make the trip to the hospital much longer than 20 minutes.
Nothing else really new to report, so that's it for now!

In case you were wondering, this is me (or part of me
anyways) at 39 weeks - this past Saturday

Boring, boring, boring.

Well, I know that if I don't update this blog fairly soon, I'm going to have some upset readers sending me some kick-it-into-gear emails. So here I sit, with no inspiration and no exciting things to write about to make a worthwhile entry. Unless of course, you are interested in the fact that I need to locate a new bulb for the aquarium hood - the light keeps flickering off and on as I sit here in the living room. The poor fish are going through a constant lightning storm. Or maybe you are interested in the fact that I need to get up and get a Tums. Or maybe you are interested that I am wearing comfy green socks.
However, I doubt it.
So, I give up!
If anything remarkable happens, or if I find out where I hid my inspiration, I'll let you know.
