ashton's birthday

ashton will be born tomorrow sometime between 4:30pm - 6pm. i am nervous but excited. not looking forward to the recovery. which i have read/heard can take at least a month up to several months :o(. i am not supposed to be climbing any stairs after surgery (not sure for how long). i suppose it is unfortunate that i live on a second floor apartment (haha :o/). it also means i will be cooped up in this apartment for sometime. i was really looking forward to taking ashton on walks before my birthday (which is only 2weeks away! omg). but it is what it is and i just have to be thankful that ashton will (finally) be here! i pray he is healthy and does well with the surgery. i won't relax until i hear him crying for the first time.  

i still haven't packed a hospital bag! and we just NOW found a pediatrician (seriously like a few mins ago)! david started his paternity leave today so we plan on getting a ton of errands done. i have to go to the hospital to get blood work done for tomorrow (yay just what i love to do). last night, david and i went to target to get me some "c-section" clothes (read: frumpy, 2 sizes to big, ugly clothing that won't rub on my incision). pregnancy has finally made me miserable (i am so done!). turning over in bed is difficult/uncomfortable (i've started sleeping on the couch. i have a hard time getting in and out of our bed and heartburn is HELL). i bet i won't even get a wink of rest tonight! david thinks it's strange how this will be our LAST day/night as just us! tomorrow we will be parents (OMG!).

i am glad my mother came down for a week. we had so much fun, it was relaxing to have her around. i wish she was still here (she left yesterday). it makes me sad that i live so far away from her. in fact, because we had been spending so much time with them, last night i felt like something was missing. (i miss you mom!). it was a sad feeling. well, i'm not sure when i will be updating this blog again. i'm sure i will before my c-section tomorrow, but just in case, please pray that everything goes well!

  1. oh anne marie i am sooooo very happy to hear that you are having him. It is the greatest joy to hear your son cry for the first time. Enjoy tonight, and then enjoy tomorrow even more. I know your birth plan wasnt what you wanted , but this was God's plan for you and Ashton. As long as you and Ashton are healthy thats all that matters. I know its hard to go through what you are about to experience. But your in my prayers, and keep it updated as much as you can, i cant wait to see your beautiful baby boy!
