In early March we had another ultrasound to verify dates and found out we are officially due October 20, just in time to be on maternity leave for my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.
In mid March we were able to go on a very fun 4 night cruise to Cozumel, Mexico. It was an amazing adventure, although the day we set sail we received the news that Grandpa Chynoweth had a major stroke and Mom Chynoweth had just been given the news that she had stage 2 breast cancer. It was hard leaving like that, but the timing was also a blessing since there wasn't anything we could do, and the cruise gave us a chance to process this change as well as not to dwell on it in an unhealthy way. (Confession: Mike and I tend to be worriers!)
Unfortunately the rest of March didn't get any better. Mike came home to a heavier load at work, there were delays with Mom's 1st chemo, and Grandpa's health got worse. Things were starting to look like there might be a brief reprieve at the end of March as we geared up for Mike's birthday, but then the news came that on Sunday, March 30, Grandpa's pain left as he left us. He was an incredible man of God who loved his family dearly and went to be with the Lord at just over 91 years. We were glad to see him go for his sake, but sad for ours.
