I said a sad goodbye to my mom this afternoon, but not until after she made a shopping trip to the nearby mall for a few parting gifts. She’s able to pack more buying power into an hour of shopping than anyone I know! She arrived back at the hospital, her arms full of food, magazines and clothes, which I gratefully accepted. (I suspect Jim was thankful as well, as she spared him the humiliation of having to buy me certain undergarments!). It feels a bit presumptuous to be getting more maternity clothes when the duration of my pregnancy is unknown, but unless I wanted to start sporting the trendy bare-belly look, I needed larger sizes. What a joyous development!
It’s crazy to think that the next time I see my mom, I’ll be a full-fledged mom! She’s planning to return here as soon as I deliver. Hopefully, the timing works out so she will have a long time at home in
Well, I better get back to my riveting game of Sudoku (thanks for the book, Amanda!). I completed a few of the puzzles designated as “easy,” and with my confidence bolstered, I launched into the “medium” section. Perhaps the Lord decided to use this as an opportunity to reinforce the importance of humility, as I am thoroughly stuck. Well, at least scratching my head in frustration takes up time – and even if I’m limited on brain power, I’ve got plenty of time!
