I thought she meant "scheduled" delivery?!?

Well - another weekly visit down. Glad to say everything is normal and going well. I started realizing just how close we are to having Analie in our arms today. Next week, the doctor is going to put me on the monitor (you know, the ones they strap on your belly). This is normal procedure - she will be checking the baby's heart rate, fluid level, any contractions, dilation, etc., etc. Based on those readings, she might actually decide to do the C-Section before the 16th! Here, all this time, I've been planning and list-making and juggling a perfectly planned calendar up to September 16th, and now, I am realizing she could come earlier?! I guess in my mind I was just thinking she would pop out like a perfectly roasted turkey on September 16th - and she still may - but there is the ever lingering possibility I will meet my angel next week! I am laughing at myself thinking of how crazy it must sound to create a "countdown" schedule of things to do before Analie is born. I need structure people - lol - lists make the world go round! I am so very excited - yet, reserved with anticipation.

Can I just brag for a moment - bear with me - Phil is amazing! He has gone into "daddy" mode the past few weeks. Every night he is doing something productive - mowing the grass, washing the dishes, folding the clothes, running my bath, picking out a perfectly matched outfit to sport on the town (ok, that was a little exaggeration! - lol). Phil has even resorted to sleeping on an air mattress on the floor in our room - he didn't want to sleep in the guest bed in case I needed him (aww). But really, I am truly so thankful to share my life with him. He is the love of my life - I don't know where I would be without him, without his support, and without his love. Philip Brown - thank God for who he has made you to be. I love you so much. Plus, you make pretty kids!
