We are happy to report that our little one has decided to move head-down & to "drop" in the last few days! I (Rhoda) met with my midwife yesterday & she confirmed definitely that this little one won't be budging from his/her position until he/she decides to join us. I was so relieved and happy that all I could do was cry & thank the Lord for answering our prayers so quickly. We are so grateful to have so many amazing prayer warriors interceding for us & our new baby. Thank you!
We have also made the decision to stay in Kampala and wait for the baby to come after we have picked up my mom & sister from the airport. We originally had reservations at a guest house about 20 minutes from the hospital, but they called us this week to let us know that our rooms were no longer available to us. At first we were quite disappointed and not looking forward to starting over in searchi ng for a place to stay, but wow, are we ever thankful now! We were able to find a beautiful place to stay just 3 MINUTES from the hospital! It will be much more comfortable & relaxing for our family (there is a swimming pool for the boys to enjoy & a kitchenette in our room to save $ on meals). Not only that, but our midwife, who is also living here in Jinja, will be staying either at the same hotel or another one a few minutes away, awaiting the delivery of another lady she is assisting. We won't have to worry about her getting to Kampala in time once I go in to labor. Construction & detours have lengthened the travel time to Kampala these days from 2 hours to 3 hours, another factor which prompted us to make the decision to stay & wait in Kampala, although Nate assured me that he'd have no problem helping me deliver in the car if the baby should come fast. :) We are rejoicing at the way the Lord has worked out all these little details for us. He is so good. We are eager to meet this child that He is giving to us. We would appreciate your continued prayers for a safe delivery.
Thank you!
Rhoda Jore
