Elliott Update

So things have started to progress since the last time I posted on the blog.  We went to the Dr. yesterday and I am almost 2 cm dilated and still around 40% effaced.  Elliott is definitely taking his time to make his debut.  But I guess I have to be thankful, he will be here soon enough and then the fun will really begin.  The nursery is in order.  The last few items needed have been ordered and shipped already.  Just waiting on them to make it to my door.  This waiting game is not my cup of tea, nor do I tend to do it to well!! Guess the Lord tries to teach us lessons any and every way possible!

Last weekend my friend, Crystal Garcia, was in town and took my maternity pics.  She has posted some on her facebook page and has tagged both Craig and I so you can find them on either one of our sites.  I must say, they are ADORABLE!!  But you know I really didn't think they wouldn't be.  She is such a talented photographer and has an eye for things. The next thing to photograph is my little man.  Another friend that also works with Crystal will be taking Elliott's 1st year pics!  I am super excited to see what Jamie has in store.

I am now a 2 day a week dental hygienist and loving it!  Even though right now there are moments where I am a little anxious with what seems like nothing to do, I know that in a few short weeks this will change.  After taking a maternity leave, I will return 2 days a week.  This is going to be so good for me and for my guys.  I won't drive Craig crazy, less temptation to spend money, and some Bethany time with real Adult Conversations!!! Plus I will continue to see all of my patients that I so dearly love and look forward to being a part of their lives.  And who could leave out, my girls at work!  When I say that I absolutely miss this 4 women when I am not there,  I mean I do.  I wonder what in the world is going on in their worlds and with their families.  The Lord has really put together a neat group of working women for us to lean on and do life with.  Thanks Jennifer, Paige, Angela, and Donna for doing life with me.  And allowing me to do life with you. It is a blessing to serve the patients of our practice on a daily basis and not only meet their dental needs but to also have the privilege of doing our best to meet their spiritual needs as well.  The Lord has blessed us beyond believe.  I pray we continue to seek His face, submit ourselves daily to His will, and continue to serve in ways that He lays out for us to serve!

Anywho, my stomach is growling, it's almost 11:30am and I am in my pj's still, need to get my botty off the dance floor and take a shower.  Sundown for lunch with the Bodie's Crew!  Oh how I look forward to some good Sundown food!  Happy Friday Ya'll.  Til next time, keep it real and keep living for Him!
