Baby Aria has arrived!

Obviously the day I wrote my first post, labor was impending! 4 hours later my water broke. I was not sure that that was exactly what was happening, until it did not stop. We waited til about 8:30 pm before we went ahead to the hospital. I was so nervous that they were going to tell us it was yet another false alarm. Thank goodness it wasn't!! Merely 18 hours after arriving at the hospital, Aria Marie Hall arrived into the world.

She is by far the love of my life, I wonder how we ever made it without her!! It is tons of work but the reward at the end of the day is by far worth it. Now its breast feeding, diaper changes and lots of burping. My life has definetly changed from this time last year. But who says change is bad? I'm just happy that life has the ability to change. And also that God has blessed me by far with the greatest blessing life can offer... A new life.

First Post!!

So I am pretty sure I have not blogged since Xanga, for those of you who remember Xanga :P.

Today I could physically feel better, but for 38 weeks 3 days pregnant, I'm just happy to be able to walk. However mentally I am feeling much better. I thought it would take intense meditation to get myself ready for this baby. But what I did not realize is that I have been getting ready for the past 9 months, mentally that is. God has been preparing me, I just know it. I'm tired of being scared of this whole labor and delivery thing. I'm going to lay my armor down and just give in to the fact that it's coming no matter how hard I fight for it to wait.

Sometimes I wish my job was as easy as Jonathans, show up, encourage every hour or so then be handed a sweet baby girl. But then again, if (think when!!) everything goes perfectly and smoothly I will be happy to be the one giving birth and being handed the baby girl to hold against my chest as she opens her eyes for the first time!! Thinking of those moments makes me not so scared.

Ready or not, my life will completely change (even more than it has) in approximately 12 days... Bring it on.
