It's almost Liftoff

It's hard to believe that in 44 hours, our little family of 3 will become one of 4 in just a matter of minutes. Alyssa and Mommy have been ready for this to happen for days now, but I guess the good Lord has other plans. So, Friday it is. We are feeling truly blessed and are finishing up those last minute preparations. Stay in touch as God shows up with yet another miracle.

The Countdown is on

Praise the Lord. We are officially in countdown mode. Today marks week 38 and our new baby girl is about to make her entrance. This week was a rough one for me. I had high hopes of working up until the day before the birth, but that just did NOT happen. My back and rib pain is preventing that. As you can see in the picture below, Alyssa Claire is going to be a big girl. The weight around my mid-section is putting a big strain on my back. I am beyond ready for her to get here!! If I do not go into labor before the big day, she will be delivered via c-section at Huntsville Hospital for Women and Children next Friday (Aug. 28) at 7:00 a.m. Please pray for my dr. and the medical team that will be assisting. Child birth is always a scary thing, but anytime surgery is a part of it the risks are always greater. I'll try to stay up-to-date as everything unfolds and upload pictures as I find time.

Baby Update

I haven't posted in a while. Everything is moving very fast with this baby business. The nursery is just about complete, and we are squaring away those last details. I am not working today. I've been in a lot of pain since last week. This past weekend was torture. I believe we are on that final countdown to D-Day. The scheduled c-section is supposed to be Aug. 28th. If she holds out that long, it is going to be a long and miserable wait. I'm calling the dr. as soon as they open this morning to see if they'll move my afternoon appointment up to this morning. I really need answers..not that they will have any. I have a feeling the answer will be to just rest and take it easy. Uggg. If that's the case, I guess I'll be starting maternity leave earlier than expected...without the baby to show for it. She'll be here in her time though. I have to keep telling myself that. I'll update when I have more to share.
