So a lot has happened recently. George was born c-section and Grandpa Lang passed. George was head down, ready to come out for most of the pregnancy and decided to flip last minute as he got too big and last minute measures became complicated. Despite trying, George wouldn't flip back around and a c-section became necessary (a procedure I had hoped to avoid). But because we knew we
needed a c-section we were able to schedule one on his due date, the soonest my doctor likes to schedule them. And because of all these reasons we were able to make it to Grandpa's funeral. So even though I did not want a c-section, that was the very thing that enabled me to make it to California. So in a situation that was not ideal, there was a silver lining. Then with missing our flight on Friday, I won't go into the details of why they wouldn't let us on our flight (because we didn't have written permission from George's doctor giving permission for him to fly when he was a week old). Silver linings- we found out how awesome our doctors were and luckily Grandpa's funeral was Monday instead of Saturday like they originally wanted. (Changed to avoid any conflicts with General Conference). And George was awesome the whole time. Mom says he has Dad's ears.
With Grandpa dying, we will all miss him, but the last 9 years haven't been the same as before. I think we all know Grandpa is in a better place and free. Soon after his stroke I was visiting with him and I think reading scriptures to him (or maybe that was another time)and he said to me, "Jamo, I'm stuck." And I said, "how? I can get you in your chair if you want..." and he said, "No, I'm stuck because heaven won't take me and hell won't either". I know he is happier now that he isn't stuck but I'm grateful for the time he held on too, even if it wasn't the same.
And despite all the craziness moving is causing, we will soon be in a house and Jon has been working so hard to start moving over things we don't need in the next week. We will probably start living there next weekend and continue moving any small stuff left.
And the biggest news. We will soon be sealed as a family- Jon, George and I. We have waited a while for this and the time has finally come. We'll be calling the temple tomorrow to look at available times in December! This week has been good.
And now, some pictures of George.
