Any Day Now
Could be tonight.
The due date is not technically for another week (the 24th), but Denyce has been saying since we first found out a due date that she thinks it will be a little earlier than that.
For now we're just working and waiting. I've been working a lot during the days trying to get plenty done before the baby comes. This has included things like developing support contacts, retooling our financial tracking/recordkeeping (we used to be on an accountable plan, now we're self-employed Schedule C), and just starting to dabble in helping Missions Resource Network (where I'm officing about 3 days a week) improve some of their IT-related stuff.
At home, Denyce and the boys have been spending lots of time with Denyce's mom, Kathy, who has moved in with us. She lives about an hour and a half away, across the metroplex, but she can work from home at least for the time being.
Our weekly OB appointment is in the morning, so we'll see if that comes with any new revelations about how things are progressing.
Meanwhile, Malachi turns 6 this Saturday. We decided to go ahead and plan a birthday party for him for Saturday morning. We're not doing anything complicated, just a get-together here at the house we're staying at, and we've invited a few families from Legacy who have one or more boys around our boys' ages. Everyone knows that the party will go down if the baby doesn't come along first. Otherwise all bets are off.

I remember when Brandon turned 3 I was very close to having Ashley, so we did his birthday party at McDonald's (before I knew what I know now! hehe!). That was on November 11. On November 12 Ashley was born!
So, maybe the day after Malachi's party Denyce will deliver? Hummm, or maybe eating McDonald's causes one to go into labor? Anyway, can't wait, hope it is soon and I will be around when it happens.
You look awesome Denyce, a very beautiful pregnant Momma! See ya'll Saturday

Oh, how I wish I could be there for Malachi's birthday party and for the baby delivery. I am feeling quite sorry for myself tonight
There is no mistaking that you are pregnant now, by the way.

Can't wait to hear more news!!!!

You both are in our prayers. We will be praying for Denyce and baby and a safe and healthy delivery. We are also still praying for your support. What can I do for you guys? Is there anyone I can call, or visit, or what?
