Getting Ready for Camping

I have spent the last couple of days getting ready for camping. I have completed loads of laundry, shampooed the carpets, washed my floors, and done the shopping. I still have a lot of work to do. I need to pack for everyone (except Kevin-he has to do his own packing!). Since the weather is not going to be as nice as I would have liked; I have to pack a lot of supplies. We need a ton of-just in case-stuff. Including things for sunny moments, rainy days, cold nights, and clothes to play in the river and get muddy.

I find myself lost in the details, but at the same time struggling. I am almost 30 weeks now. I keep wondering if this will be our only camping trip with Timothy. We will be about 2 hours away from our hospital and I am a little concerned about pre-term labor or complications. I struggle with the unknown, it is hard for me to have absolutely no control. I remember when I was 20 weeks and struggled with the thought of keeping him safe for another 20 weeks. Now I realize that I have less then 10 weeks to go. Suddenly I feel like this is going to be over soon and I'm not ready.

But none the less I am excited to go and can't wait for our first family camping trip of the year. I stocked up on band aids and marshmallows; we are sure to be prepared for anything. Please pray that we have good weather and a great time. I will post pictures as soon as we return!
