Lennon Update #31

Greetings from urgent care! Do not panic, Chelsey and Lennon are doing just fine. Last night I was working out and when I was finishing a lift and putting the weight down I felt a pretty serious pop in my wrist.  So I am thumb typing this update with my one good hand on my phone.  So forgive me if there are a lot of typos.  This is the 39th week of the pregnancy and Lennon should be around 7 pounds and 20 inches long.  Chelsey is so glad that I get to write another update... Not! Chels and I are both so anxious to meet our little man, but he is very happy and content to gestate a little longer.  Being able to hold him and love on him is consuming our thoughts and most of our conversations and clearly what we are looking forward to most. We received some wonderful news at Chelsey's doctor's appointment on Monday, Lennon is now engaged and Chels is 70% effaced. It could be any day now that we get to meet him.
The news that it could be any day has taken a little bit of a toll on both of us. However, I feel worse for Chelsey as it seems like every morning she is so excited that it could be today and then sometime after dinner you can tell she is bummed that another day has passed and we haven't been able to meet him. This uncertainty and anxiety prompted Chels to say the thing she is missing is her patience as she is praying the Lord will give her more patience. I will give her credit though, every day she is able see the positive as she shakes it off and says "oh well, one day closer to meeting him."  I love her optimism so much.  Something that I thought was kind of funny and Chelsey did not find amusing happened this week.  It requires a bit of an explanation, but when our friends down the street brought home their daughter from the hospital about a year and a half ago we visited them that night.  While we were each taking our turn holding their adorable daughter we saw a mouse scurry across the room and slip under their pocket door. That was the first and to my knowledge only mouse they have ever seen in their house.  Wouldn't you know it, Tuesday when I went downstairs to workout, I saw a mouse dart across the ground and under our stairs.  This was the first time we have ever seen a mouse in our house, I got excited and when Chelsey got up I told her I saw a good baby omen.  Initially she was excited, but as I told her what I witnessed, I don't think I have seen her face turn from excitement to disgust so quickly. 
Thought I should provide a quick update.  No broken bones, a very strained ligament and a splint and I should be good in a couple weeks.  We hope this reaches all of you well and thank you for keeping Chelsey and Lennon in your thoughts and prayers.

Love,
P, C, & L (the woodpile)
