Tuesday will be the 36 week marker! I have been feeling pretty good these days and have been getting a lot done around the house. The tree is up and decorated. Presents are wrapped and under the tree. All inside Christmas decorations are in place. And all of Josslyn's clothes, blankets, etc are washed, folded and organized in her drawers. Grandma Joyce almost has her bedding done as well! I am pleased at the way things have come together. I feel ready for the big day to come, although, when it actually gets here, I'm sure I'll be extremely anxious! For now, we will just wait for her to be ready to come into this crazy world!
Last week we sent my Uncle/Godfather Mark to heaven. He had his final time at home with his family and then was ready to go to Heaven. I am at peace knowing he is no longer suffering from the awful cancer he had been fighting. I pray for Aunt Elaine, and Cousins Mike, Julie, Dennis and Matt daily that they are able to find the peace and comfort needed to endure the loss of their husband and father. I can't imagine losing one of my own parents.
Adam has been busy getting in every last minute of deer hunting he possibly can before regular gun season ends today. He has been gone a lot but it has allowed me time to get a lot done around here. However, I am ready for him to be home a little more this week than he has recently.
Grandpa Durcholz, unfortunately is spending some time in the hospital. He has had some heart issues recently that have once again acted up. They are working on stabilizing his heart with medications. He's doing well but any complications at his age are just really hard on the body. We hope he is able to return home soon!
Well, that's about all that is going on here at the Glendening house. We hope to see many of you over the holiday season. I'm sure we'll be home a lot in the next several months, so if you'd like to visit, give us a call!

WEEK 34 AND A TOUGH WEEK FOR OUR FAMILY
Yesterday was the start of week #34. Today I saw Dr. Hopf and he feels good about Josslyn's progress at this time. Things are changing, that's for sure. I am tired all of the time and have definitely been feeling the growing pains. Hey, that's all part of the game and I continue to feel blessed with the way this pregnancy has gone so far! Now, we'll just keep trying to be patient for her arrival!
This week has been a tough week for our family. My uncle/Godfather, who has been battling cancer since this summer, discovered that cancer has taken over his liver and lungs. He was sent home yesterday with hospice care. We know his time with us is minimal and that makes us feel very sad for him and his family. It also reminds us of how close we were to making similar arrangments for my mom. I thank the Lord everyday for her and her health. I also thank Him for my dad's health. Although we never talked hospice care for him, we weren't sure he was going to survive the major brain surgery he had to have in 2004. My heart aches for Mark's family, especially Aunt Elaine, and Cousins Mike, Dennis, Julie and Matt. I pray that each moment they have with their dad is more special than the one before. May God send them peace and comfort during this time! I know wherever Uncle Mark is, he will watch over our family and send us lots of laughter!

33 WEEKS
Well, yesterday marked the beginning of 33 weeks of my pregnancy. As the time passes, Adam and I get more and more excited about her arrival. I am getting pretty nervous as well, but that's all part of it. Waiting for a baby to come is extremely difficult for someone who plans out every last detail of every life event :) Adam is trying to keep me grounded....poor boy has a tough task! He continues to tell me to slow down and take advantage of this time. I appreciate his love and support, but the men just really don't know how hard it if for us women to "slow down" do they?
It's very heart warming to know how many of our friends and family are excited about Josslyn's arrival. Everyone has been so supportive and we feel extrememly blessed to have amazing friends and family in our lives!
Josslyn's room is almost completely ready. A few more decorating details and a hamper (yes of all things, I don't have a hamper yet). I hope she finds her new room very cozy!
