I have an announcement ...

For those of you assuming, hoping and praying...... you are right! After 2 long years of trying, 2 surgeries, too many Dr.'s appointments to count, numerous frusterated - tearful nights, and many many prayers, we are FINALLY having a baby! That's right...as Nick likes to say, "He finally beat the Goalie!" I almost can't even believe it myself, it just seems too good to be true. And I didn't even have to go on fertility drugs! (Which is a relief - just to know that my body could do it itself.)

I am 12 weeks along and just nearing the end of my first trimester. I'm due May 27th, though I already know that I'll be delivering via C-section 2 weeks before my due date. Because of the scarring from my surgery, my Dr. doesn't want me to go through any sort of labour or contractions in fear of any rupturing or tearing of my delicate uterus. (Sorry if that's an overshare for some of you). So needless to say I know exactly how and when the baby will come (which works well for me, since I love to be a planner).

I hope everyone is having as fabulous of a day as I am. Thank you for all your continued love and support and prayers.

Beside You - Marianas Trench

I am loving this new song by Marianas Trench right now. Usually their songs are faster, more punk style - but this one is kind of out of left field for them. I love the chorus, it's very "Lion King-esque". And there is just something about this song that makes me think of my mission. Makes me think of the music we'd listen to like Jericho Road or other Mormon groups. I can't quite put my finger on it though. This always comes on the radio when I am driving home from work, and it makes me just zone out and relax. I just really like it. So, if you haven't heard it yet - scroll down and listen. Enjoy.
