40 weeks and 1 day!

Well we are officially past due! We went to the doctor yesterday to see if we are making any progress towards delivery. The doctor told us that I am about 2 cm dilated and that her head is pretty far down so it really could be any day. If Madison hasn't made her grand entrance by next Tuesday, July 21, we will head to the hospital that morning to be induced. I'm not really excited about being induced so please say some prayers that she will come on her own before then. Well, that's all for now. It won't be long now!

My Dad

Many of you may know by now that my dad was recently diagnosed with CLL, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. After getting over the shock of the word CANCER...I am feeling much better. The doctors are very optimistic and so is my dad so that always helps! I know that he will be just fine, especially with so many people praying constantly for him. He is being treated at Gibbs Cancer Center at Spartanburg Regional Hospital.

He went through his first round of treatment last week and did great! He was still able to go out and play golf (a few times) after his chemo treatments...pretty amazing! Renee' has created a website to keep everyone up to date on his treatments and how he is feeling. Please check it out...we can always use extra support and prayers!

Thank you to everyone for your support and prayers...and keep them coming! God is Great!

3 day Left!!!

As you can tell, I haven't updated the website in quite some time. I guess life just gets busy and you forget about some things! :) We have been busy getting things ready for Madison's arrival. The nursery is finally finished...well at least for now. Everytime I walk in there I think of another thing that I need/want to do! We are constantly trying to get the house in order but it never seems to end. Welcome to our new life, right?!?!

We had 2 wonderful baby showers given to us by family and friends. One in SC at the lake and one in VA. Madison got so many wonderful things and we couldn't be more blessed to have such loving people in our lives. We truely appreciate you all and everything that you have done and continue to do for us!

We are now down to 3 days! Can you believe it? I have so many things running through my head! On one hand I am so excited for her to finally get here and on the other hand I am absolutely terrified! I'm nervous about labor as well as being a mom. I am also hoping that Josh can make it through the delivery...if you know him, you know that he doesn't really like blood! :)

We are as ready as can be I guess. Our lives are definitely going to change...for the better, I do know that! At my doctors appointment last week, everything looked good. I have no idea if I am dilated or not. They won't check me unless I have a problem or go past the due date. Which I think is weird...but whatever! It is absolutely nerve racking just waiting to go into labor. I am just really curious to know if anything has happened! I wish she would just get here already! But she will come when she's ready. If she hasn't arrived by Thursday, I go back to the doctor then to discuss our "plan." So now it's just a waiting game. We will let you know when we head to the hospital...any day now!

I haven't taken many pictures but will get Josh to take some more. I'll try and post them soon!
