The time has come, finally

It's come down to the wire, and passed it. Annie's due date was officially yesterday, Nov. 18, and still no Sophia. But since we went to see Dr. Jones, Annie's OB, on Friday, and Thanksgiving is on Thursday, he scheduled an induction for tomorrow, Nov. 20. And that's going to be Sophia's birth date, since she's been feeling so nice and comfortable in the womb tht she doesn't want to come out.

It's been a long time coming (ask Annie and she'll more than agree), and we're so excited that we're about to finally meet our little baby girl face to face. It's been such a gut-churning week this past week as my grandpa was buried on Veteran's Day, Annie's grandma found out she had some bleeding on her brain (but luckily it's not even serious enough to operate on she found out) and on top of everything Annie and I have been anticipating she would go into labor and have the baby at any moment.

It makes it hard to concentrate on school work, and I'm sure this is only the tip of the iceberg. I plan on finishing up the rest of the semester on very little sleep and as quickly as I possibly can throw things together for my remaining assignments (maintaining a standard of getting decent grades at the same time, of course).

This Thanksgiving is going to be a very special, yet very unconventional, holiday for Annie and I. We finally get to have our baby, and we gte to play by ear how, if and when we get to eat our turkey dinner.
