Patience

is what I need these days. I have now been pregnant the LONGEST I ever have been. 38 weeks and 2 days so far. Joe was born at 38 weeks and Thomas at 37 weeks. I totally thought that this baby would have arrived ages ago, especially after being put on bedrest, but no such luck. Yesterday, I had contractions that were down to 5 minutes apart but then they stopped abruptly. ARGH! I know that I need to be patient but the waiting is killing me. The boys and I have continued to do fun things around Charlotte both by ourselves and with Daddy. This past weekend we went to Latta Park and went exploring in the creek. We caught a salamander in the creek which was a big hit. After that, the boys played in the splash park that is right near the playground and got drenched! No pictures unfortunately, but I'll bring the camera next time. I can't believe that it is only a little over two months before the big move to Texas. Crazy! The weather in El Paso was 98 degrees the other day. YIKES! Look out Texas, here come the Nelsons!
