Our little baby girl is coming soon!! Her original due date was January 21st. However, the doctor told me she’d have to come earlier than that due to my #gestationaldiabetes 👶🏻. So the doc turned to me and said, “What day would you like to do this??” When you are faced with the choice of what day your baby will be born, and what day will forever be the day she celebrates her own special day, it can feel a little daunting. It’s like you’re tempting fate or something. As I was presented this idea of choosing her birthday, though, I knew in my heart that she absolutely must come on January 11th, my birthday. 😊💗 It isn’t too exciting to know you’re having a csection on your birthday, but knowing that she and I will forever be celebrating our birthdays together is just incredibly special. Of course this all assumes that she doesn’t try to come any earlier!! You know...the best laid plans and all that...🤪 But tonight, as we count down to the new year (like I’ve done since I was a child), I will be looking forward to not only the endless possibilities of what is to come in 2018, with the familiar quote of “only 11 days until my birthday!!”, but I will also be saying, “Eleven more days until I meet my newest (4th!!!!) child, second daughter, sweet little one.” 💗😊 #blogpost #baby #babycomingsoon #pregnant #pregnantat41 #familyofsix #preggers #lovemyfamily #lovemykids #fibroandpregnancy #shareyourbirthday #chronicandpregnant
