39 weeks

No, we have no baby yet. We went to the doctor yesterday and he says everything is still locked up tight like Fort Knox. Things could start moving at any time now though, so we hang on to that small hope. The good news is that we are looking at two weeks more at the most. The doctor will not let Austin stay in longer than a week after the due date. At that point, he will either induce or go with the c-section, depending on if anything has progressed.

In other news, Nathan sold the Ford Falcon last night. We bought the car the day we found out we were expecting, so it has made the journey with us through pregnancy (I should say it sat in the garage while we journeyed!). A guy and his 15 year old son have purchased the car and are going to fix it up for his first car. We are glad that it will be going to a family that will love it. With all of the project cars gone, Nathan is already getting the itch for his next fun car (surprise, surprise!). Who knows what will be next. One thing we know for sure, it will be something that runs well.
It is not a slight thing when those so fresh from God love us.

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.
--Vincent van Gogh
