She's here!
Miss Mlada Rose joined the outside world on January 5th at 8:20 am. We are so thankful for this little lady! Birth story will hopefully come soon, before I forget all the little details!

The Waiting Game
Almost two weeks ago now, I was in the midst of a random illness. Fever, kidney pain and cough, but nothing showing up in any of my tests. In the doctor's office, both baby's and my heart rate were uncomfortably high (but totally normal blood pressure), so he sent me into the hospital for what he thought would be a quick few hours of fluids and monitoring. The girls tagged along for the first hour as we waited for reinforcements, and managed to only set off one alarm (two-year-olds and beds with lots of buttons just don't mix). Unfortunately, the couple of hours turned into an overnight stay as every single test (including a rather intense sepsis alert) came back negative, but our heart rates and my fever stayed elevated. It was finally, very hesitantly, decided that I had an early kidney infection, and was sent home with some rather strong antibiotics once our heart rates had settled down a bit.
Thank goodness whatever that was seems to have left my system, because now, now it's time for this little lady to make her appearance. We are 10 days overdue, with a 42 week eviction notice coming due this Thursday. While I am trying hard to give her the time she needs, we'll proceed with an induction on Thursday if she hasn't made her appearance by then. Every morning I wake up hoping "this will be the day!" and every night I silently request a few hours of sleep before things get rolling. It's a roller coaster of emotion as I know that there is a lot of work to be done once things get going, and it almost seems surreal that there will be every be another baby in my arms. I must have prayed for patience sometime in this past year, but I am oh, so grateful for this tiny little life and all that she already brings to our family.
