Happy Valentines Day!

I hope that everyone is enjoying this Valentines with people you love. Gabe and I went out to eat last night with some friends and decided to stay in tonight. I am making homemade Chicken Parmesan right now...well it is in the oven as I type. I will get back with you on how it comes out!

We went to the doctor yesterday and they scheduled me to be induced on Monday at 7:30 am...yes you read that right--I will be a mom in about 36 hours! My blood pressure was a little high so the doctor decided to go ahead and deliver Isaiah. It was funny because my doctor was at a delivery so another doctor saw me. This doctor obviously didn't know about all my crazy antics and when I told him I did not want a Friday the 13th baby or a Valentines baby he just stared at me! My doctor is quite used to my weirdness but this doctor didn't know what to do with me. He could not schedule my induction because I am not his patient but he sent me home (after they determined there was no protein in my urine--this can be a sign of preeclamsia) and told me to be waiting for a phone call to schedule my induction. I had not been gone for more than 5 minutes when the phone rang and the nurse told me when "go time" would be. I just said "wow, umm okay". The sad thing is that I went back to work and worked my last few hours there. I was planning on having at least another few weeks to tell everyone bye but my little guy had other plans. It was just so surreal to not only be told that my child would be here that soon but also knowing that my days of working full time were coming to an end.

Gabe and I are so excited. I really don't think it has hit home with me that I will be sitting at home this time next week with my son! I will have Gabe update the blog once Isaiah is born. Please keep us in your prayers. We are praying for a FAST and safe delivery!

Grandpa Dan and I are so excited! We woke up early this morning and both said "We are going to be grandparents tomorrow"! It's like when you kids were little and we couldn't wait until Christmas morning. Remember how Dan couldn't sleep?!?! We get to meet our grandson tomorrow and feel so blessed. I am praying for a quick and easy delivery. Wow, you are going to become parents tomorrow! Love you both.
