Jacbo's Story Pt 3

Jacob's Story Part 3: This will be short. I just forgot a couple of things that happened on Tuesday. I was so relived when Adam and my mom got there. Still no tears over what was happening. I kept saying it was either the peace of God or I was in denial, but I was going with peace until proven otherwise.

Sometime after my dad and brother got there, Adam and my brother left to run some errands and get some stuff from our house (once we realized we were in for the long hall we realized we needed some things. I gave Adam a list. I hadn't packed a bag or anything because we still had so much time. I figured I would have a doctors appointment and they would tell me I was dilated before I would pack my bag. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who got everything and didn't complain).

I was most worried about my glasses. I knew I couldn't wear my contacts the entire time, but my glasses were at the eye doctor getting new lenses. Adam was going to stop by there and pay for them so that my brother could pick them up whenever they were done. No more than 30min after Adam left they eye doctor called and said that they were ready to be picked up. I was so relieved.

Yes this was all unplanned and I like things planned, but God knows just exactly what He created and worked out the little details that I was worried about.

I also was concerned about a camera. I didn't want all of this to happen without any pictures. We weren't prepared at all, but I didn't want to not be able to capture everything. I asked Adam to call his mom and ask her to bring us a camera to borrow. So, I waited at the hospital with my parents while Adam and Micah ran errands and got everything from the house (we forgot a couple of things and Adam's mom had to make 2 trips, I think, to the house to get stuff).

Oh, before Adam left, we were trying to figure out what to do with Garnet (the 130lb 2-year-old horse...er...dog we have) and our friends John & Carrie so wonderfully offered to watch him at their house! We couldn't believe it. Miracles of all miracles - they still like us (we think) after having him for about a week!

When Adam got back to the hospital he asked if I wanted my Christmas present. Kind of odd that he brought it, but ok. He pulled out my new Nikon camera that I REALLY wanted. I was so excited (but also very drugged so I didn't show much excitement!). He had ordered it online and it had come in and he drove all the way to the mall so that we could have it to capture all of the special memories.

That is all of the story for now. Hopefully I'll post more tomorrow morning before I go to the hospital. I have lots of pictures from Wednesday on taken with my new fun camera. Off to pump...
