Baby’s Coming!

We got a call from our son last night and the doctor has decided to induce Marie next Thursday, August 19.  There is no problem with the baby, just a decision to ensure a safe delivery.  That’s only a week and a half earlier than the due date.

After talking with them, we agreed that we would drive up to Fort Collins, Colorado this coming Sunday so we can be there to help.

So today and tomorrow, we’re scrambling to get things ready to leave, canceling appointments, buying more feed for the horses, etc.

The only complication is I still haven’t received a postponement for my jury duty and I’m supposed to report on Tuesday, August 24.  Worse case, I’ll drive back on Monday, August 23 and Betty will fly home some time later.

Shortly we’ll know our new granddaughter’s name and we can stop calling her “Chica.”

Woohoo! Did I know it was a girl? I'll be praying for the travel and the delivery and the jury duty. Enjoy every moment with both Chicas!
