Amanda went to the doctor on Monday, and she told Amanda that she was not dilated but she was 90% effaced.  According to my sister, this is apparently normal for first-time moms.  But, the long and short of it is that the doctor had no clue when Noah would arrive — it could be today, it could be 2 weeks.

So, we wait patiently, trying to get those last-minute things finished up.  The nursery is painted, and the next step is cutting in the paint and putting up wainscot — all things that I’ll continue working on for weeks to come.

Prayers for a safe, quick delivery and quick recovery would be much appreciated!  This is all new to us and a bit overwhelming at times.
