May 23rd it is!

Well, this Friday is the big day! It's so surreal... I can't believe we're going to have a baby in two days! yikes! Based on my doctor appointments last week, my fluid levels have grown even more, and it has affected my blood pressure, so they had told me they really want to get me delivered this week. I was pushing for earlier in the week, but the doctor/hospital's schedule would only allow for Friday. Because of the baby's projected size, and my fluid levels, and the fact that I'm not dilated at all... they don't want me to go another week. Which, to be honest, I'm more than ok with. I think I'm pretty much done with this... although, now that it's set in stone, I think I might miss it a little bit. So, I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. I did nothing but dream about it last night, as I tossed and turned. I just have to keep reminding myself that people do this everyday, and everyday babies are born... I'm not the first one to go through a c-section! I just keep asking God to calm my heart, and help me rest in Him.

That being said, I'm SO unbelievably bummed that I'm going to have to miss my very good friend, Amber's wedding :( I was really hoping that I'd make it past it, or at least deliver early (like the doctor's had been hoping for) so that I could at least be at their wedding. It truly sucks to have no control over this particular situation. Sort of bitter sweet, because I'm SO excited to have a baby, our very first baby... but I'm bummed that I will miss Amber's very special day.

Last Saturday, I got up when Jude got up to go to work, so I could get my glucose test done ... it was really early! I had to fast for this test, so the doctor told me to go in the morning. I thought, getting there by 7am would be perfect... in and out... NOT so much. I got there, and the line was out the door. I waited an hour and a half just to have them call my name and get my paperwork! THEN, they drew blood and I had to drink that nasty solution stuff and wait ANOTHER hour for them to take more blood. talk about a nightmare. And the only reason I had to do this again was because they wanted to make sure that I wasn't diabetic... which would explain my high fluid levels. The doctor called me on Monday and said: we got your results from the glucose test, and everything's normal. GREAT, so I wasted my whole Saturday morning for no reason! I'm not bitter!

Just thought I'd rant and rave a little bit! :)

Anyway, I think that's all for now! Please keep us in your prayers this Friday, and in the weeks to come. So Crazy!! :)

Love,
Sarah
