My Fiance and I are expecting a precious Baby Girl , Rowan Elizabeth Berg, on March 13th, 2008. My pregnancy has been the most amazing experience, although I am having a hard time adjusting the weight gain, I know in the end, it will all be worth it:) We are so excited to meet our little princess, and life couldn't get any better.

March 4,2008

So I went to the doctor on Monday, and we have officially scheduled a

C-Section for the following Monday which will be March 10,2008. I am really nervous, but I know once I see my sweet little girl's face, it will all be worth it. She is about 8lbs now, so she is ready. The other day I was looking at my belly and noticed that I have gotten 4 little stretch marks on my lower belly, so I have been lathering on the La Mer, hoping that keeps them right where they are. Only 6 more days to go, hopefully she doesn't get much bigger than she is:)

Chris is just as excited, and bless his heart, he keeps telling me that he is nervous for me. He is so sweet, and has never been anything less towards me. I thank God everyday for giving me such a blessed life, and blessed me with such wonderful people in it.

Everyone is so excited, and I know that the waiting room is going to be packed with people waiting to meet Rowan. There are so many emotions going on right now, but never have I felt so much joy. I feel like my life is truly fulfilled. We are blessed that Rowan has everything she needs, when she gets here, she will need nothing, just the love that we will shower her with. I can't wait to take her to the beach this summer, something that we do almost every weekend during the summer, but experiencing it with her, will make things so much more fun:)

I keep telling Chris that I only want her. I always wanted a girl, and God gave me one first, and to me, that is a sign that she is all I need. I may change my mind in the future, but I just want this little girl to be my best friend. For her and I to be able to go shopping all day and have no worries, like my Mom and I do. I don't want anyone coming in between that. (Not to say that boys aren't a joy, I have a precious nephew that I love dearly).

Anyway, I will quit rambling on now, I am just overwhelmed, in the best way possible, and can't wait until she arrives.

To everyone else who is expecting, TTC, or have already had their baby, GOOD LUCK with everything. I wish you all the best.

I will post pictures ASAP:)

Love to all, Michele
