11 Days and Counting

Via is due in 11 days.  Crazy.  Most babies are born between 38 and 42 weeks, so she could really be born any day now.  Of course, she could also wait to make her debut in another 3.5 weeks or so...Whenever she comes I just pray that she is healthy.  I can't wait to meet this little girl!

Plans are coming together for our move up north. Since we want to buy a house just as soon as we find the right one, we decided to accept the Mederich's generous offer of letting us live with them.  This will allow us to not be locked into a lease which is great.  We can start househunting right away and when we find one that meets our needs we will not have to worry about a lease hanging over our heads.  Please pray that the Lord would give us wisdom in all of these things!

Last Saturday Justin and I participated in a 5k.  I failed to read the fineprint and didn't realize that there was a 1 mile fun walk or a 5k.  Most 5k's I have participated in are run/walk situations, but not this one!  I kind of didn't realize that until the small crowd of walkers all turned around at the half mile point except for me!  At this point I thought, "I'm going to finish what I started."  I ended up walking the 5k in about 52 minutes and came in dead last.  It was pretty funny crossing the finish line because everybody was cheering for the pregnant girl and all the cameras were pointed at the lone finisher.  This Saturday there is another 5k, but this one is definitely a run/walk.  If Via hasn't arrived yet, then I will participate in that one and hopefully not finish dead last.

    Gillian Lawrence Robyn--I've been a bit behind on the blob, but your nursery looks great! I'm glad you're all set and ready for Via. That's the way to be at this point! And what's this about moving up North? Are you headed back to MN??

    Robyn Fisk Mederich Thanks, Gillian! Yes, we are moving up north at the end of November. I was recently promoted to a new position located in Minneapolis/St. Paul. We are so excited! Crazy timing with the new baby, but it will be great to be near family.

    Robyn Fisk Mederich Right now we have a list of about 7 houses and they are located in several different St. Paul neighborhoods. I will work out of a home office and do face-to-face sales calls, so once I start my job and familiarize myself with my territory we will be able to narrow our focus.

Uncle Ryan

This time of year always makes me pretty emotional.  Almost six years ago we unexpectedly lost my brother, Ryan.  Now, all these years later, I still tend to flashback to what life was like right before he passed.  He and I were both students at Century College, and we would always get dinner together on Monday nights because I had a break between my afternoon and evening classes.  Having always gone to a small Christian school, it was so nice to have my big brother show me the ropes.  I always remember Ryan, but this time of year is a different kind of remembering, and it's always something specific that sets off the season.  This morning it happened in church when we sang "Blessed Be Your Name."  I immediately flashed back to Ryan's funeral which of course brought the tears on in no time.  "Wow," I thought, "I can't believe it's already that time of year again."  It didn't take long for me to begin processing the idea that my little V...

Our Creator is not a Careless Mechanic

On Friday, November 2, Justin and I headed to our 41 week and 1 day checkup.  I had been having consistently inconsistent contractions for days, but.......Still.No.Baby.  My doctor wanted to monitor me and Via for half an hour and was looking for us to score 10 out of 10 points.  After half an hour of monitoring us she only found 6 points - also my blood pressure was much higher than it had been during the rest of my pregnancy.  Justin and I listened as she explained that the placenta may not be doing the best job for the baby anymore.  She looked at me and said, "If you were the type of mom that was planning to have an epidural, then I'd say let's go to the hospital, put you on pitocin, and have this baby."  She went on to say that since we favored a drug-free approach we had two options: 1.  Go to the hospital and be monitored for 24 hours to see if we could make up the 4 points we were missing.  If all looked good, then we could go ...

Ultrasound pictures

Justin and I were so excited that Jasmine was going to be in town on the day of our 21 week ultrasound and she was able to join us for the appointment.  The hardest part of the appointment was when we had to turn our heads while the doctor looked for Via's gender.  We had Dr. Allison write the gender down on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope so that our friend Adria could take it to the bakery without anybody knowing the gender before the reveal party.  Here are some pictures of Via's ultrasound. Here's her sweet profile. I love her little bum. This one cracks me up because she's Tebowing. Dr. Allison laughed at this one because she has both fists under her chin like she's posing for the picture. She's a pretty fiesty little girl.  Always moving around and getting her exercise.  I'm excited to meet her, and until then, Justin and I are just enjoying this journey.
