It's Official!
Anya will come into the world sometime on October 23rd, 2009. I hope early rather than later. I had the amniocentesis today to check her lungs and she's ready to breathe. They poked me in the belly with a long needle. Told me it wouldn't hurt as much as a biopsy but they didn't give me anything for the pain and ended up poking me twice. Yuck! It wasn't as bad as having screws drilled into my head, but it was very uncomfortable. Makes me worry for tomorrow. On the one hand, I've been through so much shit already that my pain threshold should be pretty high, but on the other hand, I'm a big wuss and usually whine and cry until I get pain medications. Sigh. Well I'll be taking a benedryl tonight to get some sleep and I'll be crossing my fingers for a short, easy labor. (How's that for wishful thinking?)

I suppose by now you have your little one in your arms. I'm not a fan of induced labors (Naomi's birth was one) but at least they are short (not sweet). You will be busy, busy , busy but when you can, please update.
I am hoping that everything went okay with the delivery. Can't wait to see pictures of the baby!!

I have been thinking about you a lot, particularly these past few days. Hopefully everything went well with the delivery, so that right now the main thing you feel is just being overjoyed to be spending time with your little miracle, your Anya.
