As grateful as I am for C-sections, I am a little apprehensive knowing the exact time it will take place. With Sam it was so exciting; my water breaking in the night, last minute surgery, etc. But with Baby #2, I feel nervous because I know exactly what to expect. I am not excited to have surgery and to be awake for it, but I am so excited for the moment when my doctor holds my baby up for me to see. That moment with Sam was my life's happiest, and I get to re-live that tomorrow.
Devin and I really haven't done that much to prepare for her arrival. We have bought a few necessities, but most of baby #2's supplies were donated by loving, generous people. One person in particular really touched my heart this week. She is a woman from my ward who insisted on taking me shopping to Target for anything we might possibly still need. After trying to refuse her politely multiple times (she had already given us a baby gift for goodness sake), she told me frankly that she was ignoring my wishes and taking me shopping anyway. Thanks to her, we have several big items that we needed but couldn't afford to get all at once. I hope that someday my circumstances will allow me to do the same for someone else.
One thing I did do was decorate letters for her "room" (she will be staying in our room until the move). This is my way of announcing her name. If you know me you know I am weird about this sort of thing, and hope we do end up naming her this tomorrow...
We also traded in Big Blue this week.
Now we have Little Red.
It's a 2010 Corolla. I am too lazy to go outside and take a picture of it. I sure do miss our truck. It was the truck Devin courted me in, the truck we drove away from our wedding in, and the truck we brought Sam home in. The payment was kind of insane (Devin bought it when he was a single guy...what can I say), so we felt strongly about getting something more practical with a much lower payment and better gas mileage.
That's about all that's been going on. We love Sam to death and hope he still feels loved when this baby comes.
My next post will have pictures of our new baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippee!! I've been checking your blog about twice a day to make sure you haven't posted anything new, or that you didn't go into labor early.
I love her name!! Perfect for your family.
And what a nice lady! That is so amazing, and what a great example.
Sam will feel loved... the first child always finds a way to make themselves loved. ;)
Oh, and you'll love your corolla! I've had mine since '03 (Makes me feel OLD!), and it run great, gets about 36 miles to the gallon, and has never caused us any problems!
