Ready or Not, Here Comes Baby O

Hello Friends and Fam...

Eric and I went in for a routine Dr. appt. this morning and found out that I'm developing preeclampsia. The Dr. would like to induce labor tonight (we check in late tonight), which means E and I will probably meet this little one sometime tomorrow!

We are feeling lots of things: scared, excited, nervous, apprehensive...scared!

I am really building my "trusting in God" skills right now. :)

We so appreciate all of your prayers, love and support from the beginning of this pregnancy through these next days as well!

We'll be posting pictures soon!

Love,
Eric and Chrissie

A Watched Pot Never Boils

...I know, I know, Mom! I just can't help but count down the days until D-Day (delivery day). (11 days and counting)! I think that God designed pregnancy to become unbearable in the last weeks leading up to delivery, so that labor actually sounds do-able. I'm saying to God, "Bring it." And then I hear a voice that says, "Uh oh, Chrissie, be careful what you wish for!"

Eric is so sweet and patient. He's put up with my mood swings - one minute laughing, the next crying just because I chipped my toe nail polish. What is up with that?

I have been given a doctor's note to work from home. I feel kind of like a weakling...thinking that I should be able to work right up until Baby O decides to come. (I will be working, but with my swollen feet and cankles up in the air). With this pregnancy, God is reminding me that my plans are completely independent of His plans!!! Why can't I get that through my head?

Never Say Never

Well, I guess there is a first time for everything. I never thought I'd enter the blog-o-sphere, but here we are. I'm not very good at keeping a journal, so this may be interesting. However, as I day dream about being with our new little one, I can only imagine how much I will want a record of every little giggle, smile, burp and spit-up (well, maybe not the last two). ;0 I hope I can make this not just an online journal for our little family, but a relational journal in which I can share in the lives of friends and family too.

So, here we go...
