Ok, so when my Mom was pregnant with me. My Paw paw told everyone that I would be born on December 2nd. And you wanna know why he thought that? Cause there was a full moon that night. Sure enough I was born December 2nd.
That being said, my Dad is saying that Elah will be born the night of December 21, or the morning of the 22nd, because there is a full moon, a lunar eclipse, and the 22nd is his birthday.
If she is born on his birthday, he will be on cloud nine.
Anyways, the 21st is this Tuesday, that's only two days away. I hope Sarah goes into labor soon.
I want to meet my daughter, and Sarah is so tired of being pregnant. I feel bad for her cause I can tell she is miserable, and I really don't like seeing her like that.
We got out of our last childbirth class last Monday night because Sarah really didn't feel like going anywhere, and they were calling for bad weather. So we just stayed home and watched Christmas movies that night.
So guess what??? NO MORE PERKY CRAZY LADY!!!!!!!!!
Now watch, I said that and when Sarah goes into labor the crazy lady will be at the hospital, that's just my luck.
Well, I'm gonna wrap this post up, I hope that my next post will be from the hospital.

Bible Verse
Matthew 18:5- And Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

Anticipation
Since Sarah can go into labor anytime now, the anticipation is absolutely killing me.
I find myself now, especially when I'm trying to get to sleep and during tray line at work, just zoning out just trying to imagine what the day will be like when she enters this world.
I'm so in love with this little girl that isn't even here yet.
I told Sarah the other day that she would have to move over cause I had another girl in my life. shes like "Thanks a lot."
Anyways, I keep thinking about that moment after she is born, when its just Me, Sarah, and Elah in the room by ourselves, and how special that time will be.
And then I think about when all the family comes in to see her. No offense to all of y'all but I'm kinda dreading all the visitors cause I know we will have family members coming out of the woodwork, and I really don't want to deal with it.
I think about how nervous I will be once we get home and she starts crying or how I will do changing her diapers. I'll probably be to afraid to do anything with her right off the bat cause I'll be afraid that I'll hurt her.
I'm just ready for her to get here and we have her home so we can begin our new life as a family.

The Worst Nightmare Ever!
Last night while I was asleep, I remember having the most terrifying nightmare I have ever had in my life.
I dreamed that Sarah had gone into labor and during the time we were at the hospital Elah was born Stillborn.
I can't even begin to describe the sadness I felt, and then I finally woke up, almost crying and then I realized it was just a dream. Thank God!
I never want to have a dream like that again.

Baby Shower #2
Today the place where I work had a baby shower for me and Sarah. We had a good time with everyone, and ate a lot of good food.
I am truly blessed to work somewhere that I enjoy working at, and to have the privilege to work with some really great people. I never expected them to go to such lengths just for me, and it really meant a lot to me.
We got a lot of nice stuff, a lot of cute little outfits, and we got these two really cool bookends that look like teddy bears. I think someone made them, though I'm not sure.
They also got us a really pretty cake.
I wish I could have taken a picture of everyone to post on here, but since they were on duty they had to keep rotating so someone would be out on the halls to look after the residents. For those of you who don't know, I work at a nursing home.
For everyone who helped put this shower together, thank you so much. You have no idea how much it meant to both Sarah, and me.

Sarahs Dr. Update, And Hospital Tour
Lets start off with Sarah's Doctor visit today.
It took a little longer than usual today cause they had to do the baby stress test thing. I didn't go back for that, but afterwards Sarah told me that little miss Elah didn't stop moving the whole time.
The nurse had her lay down on her back and told her to let her know when she felt Elah move.
Sarah told the lady that she wouldn't feel her on her back and the nurse asked why. Then Sarah told her about only being able to feel her when she is laying on her side. So the nurse recorded her doing both.
First she had Sarah lay on her back for a while, and guess what....... she didn't feel a thing, but the nurse recorded Elah moving a lot. So the nurse asked her to turn on her side and sure enough, Sarah felt every bit of it. After they took her back to a room, the nurse came and got me.
This check up was pretty much the same as every other, only they did a few test on her, I forget what they called them. And they checked to see if she was dilated yet.
She is one centimeter dilated. I thought it was cool cause the Midwife said she could put a finger in her cervix and could even feel Elahs head!
The visit was really good, Elah is really healthy, Sarah is really healthy, and everything is ready to go pretty much. After this Saturday, it will only be a matter of time before she goes into labor.
I guess when God says its time, it will be time..
Sarah now has to go every week to her apointments, well, twice a week, one for her check up, and stess test, then again later in the week for a follow up stress test.
Okay, now, the hospital tour.
After we left the doctors office, we had an hour to kill so went to Target for a while and found Elah a pair of red pants for her Christmas outfit if she is born before Christmas, and we picked up a few essentials. Then we headed over to the hospital. They told us to be there AT 5:20 so of course we were early, so we sit inside for a while. It was absolutely freezing, cause every time someone walked through the doors the cold wind would blow in.
5:20 came around and no tour guide..... 5:30 came, and still no tour guide...... Finally about 5:40 or so, she showed up. And can you guess who it was?????
THE CRAZY PERKY LADY from the childbirth class AHHHHHHHHHHH!
And of course Sarah starts laughing.
Anyways she took us to the labor and delivery floor first, and showed us one of the rooms we will be in..
As she was telling us about everything that went on, the realization of this whole situation really hit me. I'm like,"Wow, this is actually happening, I'm actually gonna be a Daddy in just a few short weeks." At that point a wave of fear washed over me, then a HUGE wave of excitement hit me and washed away the fear. She then showed us the, I guess its the recovery floor. She showed us one of the rooms there also, and boy I'm not looking forward to sleeping on that wimpy couch thing.
That was our day, and it just made me more anxious and excited than I already am.
I can't wait to meet my little Elah.
