          First of all, let me thank all of you who have been praying for me and this baby throughout this pregnancy. It gives me great comfort to know that many are praying for us.

 Now the time has come to ask for extra important prayers for a safe delivery of this little one into the world on Monday morning. We have to be at Wake Med. by 6:30 AM for pre-operative tests, registration and the works, and I expect she'll be born by 9 or 9:30 AM. I've been
 through this before but I'm still nervous about what all could happen, recovery from surgery, etc. I can talk again now (much to my kids'dismay
  ), but I'm still recovering from this awful cold virus, sinus thing, too. 
 So hopefully the next time you hear from us it'll be with baby news and pictures! And I'll wait to tell you her name when it's definite!
