The countdown begins

So we are down to 50 days until my due date. What?! The time has flown by and we just get more and more excited.  Neil and I talked about the delivery last night. I'm obviously getting very nervous about it. Pain and I do not go well together. That is what I am most worried about. My family is aware that I am a total wuss. Neil has requested that he is the only person in the delivery room when it comes time to push and I think it is so sweet of him. He wants that time with just me and the baby afterward. I love that. I go for an appointment today to have my stomach measured and hear the heartbeat. Next week I start my weekly appointments and we will get an estimate on how much this big boy will weigh. I can't believe that I only have 7 weeks left. 50 days. Holy Cow!

On another note, we are also going through something right now that we need some prayers for. We've gotten over one hurdle but still have several more left to go. It has nothing to do with me or baby. We are both fine. I hope to be able to give more information later in the week, but for now we just need prayers please. Sorry for being so cryptic but I don't want to discuss this without all the information and we just don't have it right now. However, I know our God is faithful and He will bring us through anything we face with strength, dignity, healing, and comfort.

prayers, check.

And pain? That's the beauty of modern medicine. :) I am no hero, and I very much enjoyed not feeling a thing during my labor with E. (Abs was a different situation)

you're going to do beautifully!
