We go in for a pre-op meeting with the nurses and anesthesiologist tomorrow. They're supposed to help prepare us a little more, but I've also been reading a lot online and from my books. I think you're right. I'd feel worse about this if it were an emergency and I'd hadn't had time to prepare emotionally, and if I weren't sure it's necessary. One thing that encourages me is my doctor. I've liked her from the beginning, and I trust her decisions. The fact that she's performing the surgery makes me feel a little better. :-D I'm not quite up for the mirror thing. I'd like to see our son as soon as possible, but I don't think I want to watch my own surgery. Thank you for your prayers!

That's one reason we've chosen a name that means "God has heard." Some of you already know the name, but I'm not posting it publicly yet. You'll just have to wait until he's born. ;-) The Lord already has given grace in countless ways.

I can't believe it! June is going to be the big month for both my boys. Bug's birthday, then Father's Day, then Austin's birthday. I'll have to start saving up my allowance in March every year. ;-) Katie - Yes, the internet is great! I just saw your photo on the Australia team's website. You look as beautiful as ever. It's fun being able to beam stuff back and forth from opposite corners of the world, isn't it? Marcia - I remembered you as soon as I saw your maiden name. Thank you for praying. C-section on Sunday and you're already blog-surfing? I'm hoping for that kind of recovery! But I know as long as the doctor hands us a healthy little boy, I'll deal with whatever else. Jess - I'm so glad you'll be back, too! If any bizarre emergencies come up while Austin's picking up my family from the airport or something, I told him "Hey - I can call Jess!" No home deliveries, though, sorry. I'm sure it would've been fun. :-D Kristalyn - 2 years old! I can’t believe it! June is going to be the big month for both my boys.
