We made it. We've been living in Mississippi for 3 weeks now and are all still alive. :) What I'm trying to say is we are doing something grown up and surviving it! We went to the OB doctor today. Her name is Dr. Zekam and she was friendly and nice. She said "Well, now we just wait for the baby to come!" That's what I have felt like lately--just waiting for the baby to come. This is hard to admit, but I have actually in my less than 3 weeks in this apartment, worn a patch of carpet smooth--where my feet rest where I sit in the left-hand corner of the couch. My Vico is an amazing stud. He has transitioned to a new job with such strength, optimism, and determination. He is the coolest husband and da da and best friend. The funny thing is that he's my best friend and Lucy's best friend too. Whenever she's most excited--about anything--she shouts "Da da!" I just want him forever. My biggest fear is cockroaches. I saw one yesterday on the kitchen sink, screamed, and smashed it under the Palmolive bottle. My next biggest fear is cigarette and marijuana scent entering out apartment. It freaks me out. I like the rain here. Every few days there is a thunderstorm. The funny thing is that I will text Vico that it's pouring rain and where he's working 20 minutes away the sky will be clear. We like going on drives here to see the beautiful green scenery and to explore. We have seen the Mississippi river in Vicksburg, with a huge river boat on it, have crossed the border to Louisiana, and randomly ran into a huge reservoir lake thing about 15 minutes from here. There are tons of chicken finger places. We have tried two. My favorite is called Bops in Richland. But by far the nicest touch about Mississippi is the southern hospitality. It's real. My first encounter with it was in the Atlanta airport where on two separate bathroom visits, the girl in front of me in line let me go first. Also, the other day a lady from church brought us a pie. Everywhere we go people chat with us about the baby in the nicest way, as if you'd known them for ages. And to top it off, last night after a job, the couple Vico installed an alarm for fed him turkey necks and saltines. :) I'm just so happy to be here with my sweetheart. And my Luly. Heavenly Father has given us so much joy!
