Pregnancy Update

Most of you know I found out at my last doctor's appointment that I was 3cm dilated and 50% effaced. Normally that type of news would not phase me, if anything I would be excited. Instead, I cried after my doctor left the room because of my fear of going into labor while Greg was out of the country. It wasn't crazy crying just the emotional pregnant already missing her hubby cry. I called and talked to Greg. He decided to cancel his stay in Amsterdam to get home two nights early. He will be home tomorrow, Monday, at 7:30pm. Even though I feel terrible about him missing that part of his trip I am very Excited to see him. And I'm at peace with the decision because I left it up to him. Greg didn't want to take any chances...I have an Amazing husband. I've been taking it easy since my doctor's appointment to avoid going into labor before Greg gets back. I honestly don't think I'll have the baby before this week is over but I also don't think I'll make it to the due date, Nov 23rd. Family and friends have been amazing! Calling me everyday to check on me, having me over for dinner or just taking Isaac for a couple hours. I am a blessed woman. I am excited to bring a new addition to our family. This pregnancy has been a blessing and very interesting to experience with a toddler. It's fun not knowing what the gender is and realizing how close I am to meeting my boy or girl that I will finally be able to call by name. I am anxious to see how this new little addition will add to our family dynamics. I know he or she will be nothing but a joy to all of us. I took some time to give extra love to Isaac tonight. I kissed and hugged and cuddled on him till he couldn't take it anymore. I told him how much I loved him and even though a new baby was coming that wouldn't change how special he is to me. I enjoyed the rest of the evening cuddling with him and enjoying Isaac and mommy time. It's funny how life changes in such big and quick ways yet we find a way to adjust so quickly. I am extremely blessed to have my Lord that is everything to me, a husband that loves God and loves his family, a son that brings a smile to my face everyday, and a precious healthy baby that will soon grace us with his or her presence. Well those are my thoughts. Thanks for keeping me in your prayers. I'll try to remember to update after my next doctor's appointment. Goodnight everyone!
