Due Date

Today is Maelee’s due date. She made it 266 days, but didn’t make the full 280. She made it seven days past full term. She’s supposed to be here today.

Waking up in the mornings is tough. She’s the first thing that pops into our minds when we wake up. We usually just lay there and stare at the ceiling for awhile, thinking about her. There’s little motivation to get up. We’ve both been sleeping 10+ hours a night, with intermittent times of sleeplessness. I don’t know if that much sleep is a good thing or not.

I've been thinking about you guys all day today. I had some folks ask me out y'all at church this morning. I find it hard to put words together without getting choked up.

I also know it's been 2 weeks since Maelee met the Lord and I know it's hard. It's hard that there are 2 anniversaries every week. I pray that each week gets a little easier than the last.

Sleep is good. It helps your body repair. Take your time.

There are no words, only tears and prayers. I'm so sorry you are both having to endure this pain. Bless you for sharing your thoughts. You are in mine. Laura

We went through this day before you guys- on this side of the earth- and were wishing the whole way through that we could soften the weight, prepare the way for you to make it through this day. We've been praying continually throughout this hard day for you.

Sleeping seems absolutely needed right now. Rest your hearts and your bodies as much as you can.

We too so longed to meet her on this day! We miss you Maelee.
