November 13, 2008-Ain't she beautiful? Birth was good. No complications and she was completely healthy. I had some complications afterward, but am better now. Alyssa then came down with jaundice and we were back in the hospital for 2 more days. Now-she's doing great :)

What joy!

Here's the scoop: Basically after having contractions most of this week and being in and out of the hospital-we are being induced Wednesday, November 12th!!

Thoughts and Feelings:

Surreal-Our baby will be here in 5 days...this time next week, I'm going to officially be a mom and have a little precious daughter...

Scared: What do I know about being a mother? What do I know about delivering a baby?

Excited: She'll finally be here...not just someone we talk about, but she'll actually be here!!

I am a mixture of everything really and am so thankful that Bobby is right by my side. He helps me calm down and relax. He makes me smile and laugh. He brings me joy. He's going to be an amazing father. I feel less scared when I consider the fact that I have Bobby right by my side-to learn with, to mess up with, to depend on, to go through this journey together! He's amazing and God has blessed me so much.
