On April 27
th, 2006 we found out we were expecting...it was a surprise! I randomly took a pregnancy test & was shocked to see it turn positive! We weren't trying, but also
weren't preventing...just leaving it up to God. We were really overwhelmed, but excited for the new adventure as there was no turning back now! The due date was January 15

September 21st we found out we were having a girl! We were thrilled as we both already had a feeling that"it" was really a she. Brian had always talked about having a Daddy's girl and now she was coming.
Towards the end of the 2
nd trimester I could feel the head near my ribs. Everyone kept saying how she'd flip eventually. Well she got bigger & bigger & never flipped! I continued working full time until I had her, so this probably brought on the complications I had in the last month. I went
to the hospital 3 times to stop contractions. Finally at 37 weeks, we tried to flip her around with an external cephalic version: the
dr basically put mineral oil on my belly and pushed really hard to turn her, but she wouldn't budge! So we scheduled a c-section in order to get her out safely. Our new date was January 4
th, 2007 :)
The night before were had an overload of emotions...
definitely excitement, but also fear and lots of nerves! I couldn't wait to see her and hold her!
