"ooooooo Joss!"

Joss is starting to smile on cue now :) Along with many other things. One thing he does all the time right now is tell something "HI" then wave at it, and then blow it a kiss. For instance if he sees a light or a bus or a cat...it usually goes something like this: "oooooo ball (wave) HI ball (blow kiss)". I keep meaning to get it on video...

He likes to get me and Dallas to kiss too. If we're trying to get him to give us kisses (which he does a lot now too) he'll put his hand on our face and push us toward the other with a look on his face like "go on now". He'll do that over and over until he's gotten enough kisses out of us.

I had another appointment at the clinic yesterday, and it was another 6 hour morning... UGH! Lord, please let this baby be developed and ready to come very soon. I don't want to have to go to 4 or 5 more visits there. All I can say is those of you that have insurance (in the USA or Bahamas), be so thankful. I know you have to pay for stuff and things like that, but it is so much nicer and comfortable in the private clinics and offices. Say a little prayer for all those folks having to go to the gov't clinics...they can offer free or low healthcare, but it comes at a cost.

Luckily, I got to see one of the doctors that might actually be at the hospital this week. She was VERY nice compared to the jerk I saw last week. She was very supportive of a VBAC and just had a much more positive bedside manner. I may have physically harmed someone if I had seen another doctor like the guy last week after waiting around for 6 hours yesterday, so thank you Lord for at least throwing me that bone :)
I'm really unsure what to expect for the hospital situation down here. Nancy and I tried to go and take a quick peek or tour of the labor and delivery area the other day and the nurses wouldn't let us go in. Nancy got a little peek of the recovery area and said it looked nice though. My biggest concern right now is that I won't be able to have Dallas back there with me during the labor or delivery. If it is really crowded when I go into labor, they said it will probably just be me and a midwife (I'm excited about working with a midwife). But they said if it's slow, there's a slight CHANCE he might be allowed back with me. Please pray that he will be able to come back with me. It just seems like you should be allowed to have at the very least your husband with you during that time. There are so many uncertainties when dealing with any birth, and I know I'll be that much stronger if I have my "support system" (Dallas) with me.

I'm feeling great (as long as I'm in AC) and feeling Baby Emit move all the time. It's fun talking to him and calling him by name. I will be VERY happy when he is ready to come! I'll get it posted as soon as I can when he does!

Thank you all for the support and encouragement along the way!
