FULL TERM!!!!!


Well as of tomorrow I am FULL TERM! Praise the Lord. I am so thankful that I have made it to this point. After a scary beginning of thinking I might have a tubal pregnancy, having to have a breast biopsy of 3 lumps found, starting having contractions at 21 weeks, and to making 3 labor and delivery visits, I am SOOOO Thankful that I am where I am.

Every morning on my way to work I cry (part hormones/part because I'm crazy emotional) & pray over this little boy and thank God that He chose ME to be Cambric's momma. I am so anxious to meet him, it's crazy! But I learned after praying fervently for 16 months that God would send me a baby NOW, that it wasn't going to happen in my timing, that it would happen in HIS timing. Everyone always hears about how I am due the week after school gets out and tells me how I scheduled it just perfect. I would love to say I am that awesome and scheduled that perfect timing but that was all God! :) I have prayed very specifically from the the day I found I was pregnant about certain things (it doesn't hurt to ask) but I know Cambric will come when God destined for him to come. Of course I am VERY curious when that will be! :)

Troy and I are officially "ready" for the baby...By ready I mean that we have everything that we read we would need, people told us we would need, and some of what we were told we didn't need but bought anyways. His bassinet is ready to be put on my side of the bed stocked with diapers, wipes, breastfeeding stuff, and a change of sheets (just in case).

Let's see the only thing I might not be ready for is...LABOR!!!! I've read lots during pregnancy but labor is one of the things I tried to not read too much about besides the basics of what I need to know. Every time I started reading, I started thinking about the throwing up and tearing, and pooping. YEP I said pooping. I am just sure you will all hear if I am one of those blessed women who uses the restroom during delivery cause Troy has already told me he was gonna tell everyone. Oh Lord, help me please! :) I can't wait to see what he is like in the delivery room! It's gonna be great! I will be in great hands though with my Doctor. If anyone wants an AMAZING OB/GYN then you need to see Dr. Kollar in Mansfield. Troy and I actually decided to change doctors after the 1st trimester and I am so thankful we did! We walked out of our first visit with her talking just as much about how we loved her as we did about finding out we were having a boy! Ok maybe not THAT much but it was pretty close.

Thank you to everyone who have been praying over me and Cambric. Your prayers mean the world the me! I've had so many family and friends who check up on me all the time and take awesome care of me (1st grade team). You all ROCK!!!

If any of you have any great advice for Troy and I as first time parents please feel free to leave us a comment. We have heard all the generic advice and of course the "Your life will never be the same." "Sleep as much as you can now because you wont when the baby comes." And all those that aren't really advice as much as laughing at us because we don't realize just how much our life is going to change. haha We would like some positive advice please! :)

Anyways I hope you enjoyed keeping up with us throughout this pregnancy. The next post will probably be lots of pictures of my little man! Wa Hoo!!!!!

YEP, that crazy couple below are about to be parents...... Poor little guy! ;)
