I thought it would be "payback" time as a grandparent when Victoria told us she and Leonard were expecting but I believe I have "felt" every pain and discomfort with her! I am exhausted, anxious, and the days are passing just as slowly for me, I believe, ha!
Victoria's doctor, Frank Tibeletti, has promised that she won't go past June 23rd, her due date. That is smack dab in the middle of Teen Convention for our church! I'm praying that she will have the baby on my birthday, June 20th, but that is on Sunday, so we'll settle for Monday, June 21st! I told her that if she has the baby during an evening that week that maybe "Flip Smiley" would make a guest appearance down at the delivery room!!! That would be a memory, maybe even "Delta Dawn" would come visit! Many of our friends will be here that week, so maybe they'll get to see our grandbaby!
Leonard is still at Osan AFB in South Korea. Trips home for him are out of the question at this point. We are trying to keep Victoria cheerful and positive, Scott has taken off work for that week and we're helping her get the last minute things prepared. Leonard is looking at taking an extra-long leave around Christmas. That is a long time to wait to see your first child.
Dr. Tibeletti says that Victoria is doing perfect, he's just wasting his time checking her every week. She has no sickness, back pain, or blood pressure difficulties. Kate has just got her a little "crowded". Keep praying for a safe delivery and healthy baby.
