The countdown

I haven't blogged in a really long time. Just looking back at some old posts ( the 3 in total that I have posted) I am just shocked at how much has changed in my life! Even my interests have changed, but one thing remains: I am still head over heels for Aaron. Only difference now, is that he is my husband :) Like the good ol' Beach Boys song says:
"Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close, the whole night through"

And it sure is nice :) So here are some updates: I'm married, still a student, and the most exciting news of all... we're expecting our first baby! She is actually due on thursday, but i'm thinking that i must have the world's most comfortable uterus ever, because she is still not here. I know, i said she isn't due until thursday ( today is tuesday) so she can't possibly be late ...yet. We will see though. If she is anything like my husband ... and myself, heehe, she will probably be late. I've come to the conclusion that i'm ok with that, after all you cannot rush perfection ;)


My husband reassures me a lot these days because i've spent the past two weeks worried about having to have a c-section. He is a wonderful husband, and i am beyond lucky. He puts up with my craziness and has the patience of Job. For this, his crown in heaven will be heavy with jewels! bless his heart!

K, back to this whole c-section fiasco: First off, I don't understand women who actually schedule c-sections (i'm not talking about those who have to have one because of medical reasons). I am talking about those who just decide it's safer? less painful? like i said, i don't understand. It is full on surgery(enough to scare me) and the recovery ( i've heard) is not fun at all. So you can imagine my fear when my doctor mentioned that i may have a narrow pelvis and may require a c-section. Well actually I had no clue what it meant at first, in fact when he tried to explain it, i became more confused. All i heard was c-section and i felt my eyes begin to water. This was a lot of news for me to take in, because like i mentioned, i am still a full time student. My teachers have been really understanding and are helping me work through the semester. The plan was to take off 3 weeks when the baby was born, and then I would finish off the semester. The last part of the semester is all classroom experience, full immersion from 7:30-3:30 everyday. So i knew that if i had a c-section, i would not be able to return for the semester. That would be that all my semesters work would go to waste... this is still a fear of mine, but as of today I am more at ease.

We got another ultrasound today, it estimated the baby's weight: 6pds 8oz. Give or take a pound is what they say though. Either way she is not a 9 pd baby ( my pelvis would probably just break, idk). I know that even though my worries may seem small to some people who have been there and experienced a much crazier time, but they are still my worries. God is in control and i am happy to remember that even though he created the heavens and the earth, he still takes interest in my "small" worries. For that I am thankful.

Phew! I clearly had a lot to say, If you actually had the patience to read this, bless your heart! I am excited to be a newbie blogger. Thanks to my dear friend Wabster, I am going to take this time to blog and record the many soon to come adventures with my baby girl!

K, i'm hungry now... bye bye!
Countdown... 2 days.
