The Day has Finally Come!

Well, as of 1:20 this afternoon, I'm still pregnant and everything is still a go for tomorrow morning at 8:30 am. 37 Weeks and 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We made it!!!!!!!!!!! Now, more importantly.....to just get to meeting baby Jenna and seeing that she has stayed healthy too.

I went to the doctor for my last visit this morning. The girls and I met my mom there. I pointed out the hospital to the girls where I would be staying for a few days and where they would first meet Jenna.

My weight is 183lbs, my BP 137/57. The baby checked out okay on the sonogram. She is still laying head down. Her heart rate is in the 130 range. I talked with the doctor about finalizing tomorrow's plan. We are to be at the hospital at 6:30 am for an 8:30am c-section. Dave's mom is coming over this evening to spend the night and take care of the kids in the morning. Dave will come home for them at some point tomorrow morning to meet their sister.

This past week or so, everyone has been calling me and e-mailing me to wish me well. It's the best feeling to know that I have such caring, thoughtful family and friends praying for us, wishing us well, and cheering us on through all of this. My friends and family have helped me more than you all know -- through all of this.

Now, to get through tonight and all the anticipation..........................

I know you won't be checking this, but I just want you to know, eventually, that I am going to be praying so much for you, Dave, and Jenna, as well as Andrew, Ava, and Amelia. This is such an exciting yet scary time. I'm thinking about you all the time and I just want you to know how much I care and am here for you. Best wishes and I can't wait to see you Saturda!
