We Made It

We Made It!!

Words I never thought 1) I'd be saying and 2) I'd be okay with saying

But-- in this moment as I sit rocking in my rocking chair watching as my little boy or girl wiggles I am excited for tomorrow and by the end of the day (at most) I'll be holding my baby in my arms.

We had our 39 week check up on Friday with Doctor Cherry (who I'll be seeing tomorrow) and she is just fabulous. She examined me and I'm a slight bit more dilated then I was a week ago, more progression has been made and the head is still down and right there. While she was examining me (please stop reading if you don't want to read about the birthing experience) she stripped my membranes and tried to break my water with her fingers (unfortunately, she couldn't) She then proceeded to tell me that because my body has been doing all this awesome work for the last 3 weeks she feels like she owes it to me to try to break my water again tomorrow before proceeding with the c-section. She feels (as do I) if we can avoid a pretty tough surgery- we should! These words have been the most comforting words I've heard in a long time. I've been miserable, suffering through contractions, long nights of not sleeping (due to contractions) and just wanting this baby out of here-- and yet, with those kinds words, "lets see if we can avoid a c-section" I'm at total peace. Whether I have this child naturally or via c-section-- I feel total peace that Doctor Cherry is in my corner and doing what's best for me.

Celebrate and Pray with us as tomorrow we'll be welcoming our 3rd child to this crazy house!

We are so excited.
