I had a doctor’s appointment on Monday, ultrasound and all. Cervix is much softer than it was last week. Ultrasound said he’s measuring at 40 weeks, which is good that it’s not 42 or something. My amniotic fluid level is still good, but on the low side of good. David’s about 8lbs, 7 oz, and squished and twisted lke a little pretzel! My doctor said she’s not going to...
Dear Santa...
It’s been a long time since I’ve written, and I have a feeling my Christmas wishes will be a little different than they used to be. Instead of a long list of books and toys, here’s what I’d give anything to have this year…

I wonder how many months of planning this took?!

They say everything happens for a reason. That’s one of the few things “they” say that I agree with. Sometimes you don’t know what the reason is, and sometimes you never really find out. Life didn’t ask me what my plans were. I’m 20 years old, and have less than a month before I become a first-time mom. I feel less in control of my life than I’ve ever...
