Our last week of March was spent with Mom and Dad Huisman patiently (or not so patiently as the week went on) waiting for our new arrival. We had a lot of fun playing with Carsten and taking a lot of walks to encourage labor. The only blemish on the week was a stomach bug that got passed from Carsten to Andy to me. Luckily, Andy and I recovered after about 24 hours and more importantly, I didn't go into labor on that day which I was praying for. Carsten took about 3 days to get over it, but for once, he actually took long naps when sick (usually his naps get shorter). Carsten was fairly sad over those few days and laid on the floor to play diggers which is extremely unusual for him. Somehow, Mom and Dad managed to miss the stomach bug that the rest of us had, so we were very thankful for that. With Mom and Dad here we managed to get a few 'last minute' things done like assembling the baby glider, organizing a few things in the house, and running errands. We really enjoyed our time with Mom and Dad and while we would have liked to see the arrival of our new baby a bit earlier, God's timing is always perfect. Here's some photos from our week:
