Posted in This Land I Love

I want to thank all of you dear people who commented on my last entry. You encouraged me so much. What a wonderful community this is! And what dear friends you are becoming. Thank you for your kind words and most especially your prayers.
We are having a quiet week at home - waiting to hear from the hospital on when we are to go for Teddy's EEG - but my doctor called yesterday to say that the assessment of the CT scan is all clear, so that is good news and such an answer to prayer.

We are trying to stay close to home these days mostly because it is so terribly hot outside. Our part of New Zealand is experiencing the hottest temperatures recorded in over 30 years. They're comparing it to the outback of Australia! I had to go into town yesterday to see my obstetrician, and I treated the children to McDonalds for lunch (they were so good waiting at the doctor's very posh office). We took it down to a local park where there are beautiful trees, but even sitting in their shade was unbearably hot. We ate quickly and got back into the airconditioned car.
I had to go and get my third trimester blood tests done, and the nurse was a little bit grumpy - she is usually very friendly. She was stuck in a tiny room with only a fan and was fed up with the heat.
Here is a news link about our weather:

Heat Rises, Temper's Flare

The heat was even setting off fire alarms!

My obstetrician says I'm all ready to go - baby is definitely well-engaged. Cooler weather is coming this weekend, so that could be a good time to go into labour.
I guess the race is on between you and me Ashley!

It's hard to explain how hearing about your son's seizures really took me back to August when Elijah had his. I'm praying for you!!!

On a lighter note - the race is ON! :) Yesterday my midwife confirmed that my baby is engaged or very nearly so, too! I'd apreciate losing my nasty head cold before going into labor, and maybe a few days would tell you more about what's going on with your son ... so actually I feel little urgency on this end...

I hope the heat wave passes soon. Here it is 50 - sweater weather for me and a t-shirt for husband. I really enjoy being 3rd trimester in the cooler weather. It makes sense that you're weather is oposite, but I'd never thought about it!

God bless ya'll!

Very happy to hear that Theodore is doing okay and so far things are clear. So glad you are getting in a bit of less-hectic time before the baby. Sorry about the heat! That is very hard when very pregnant. Can't wait to hear news! The weekend sounds good! :)
