My husband and I are expecting our first baby any day now...over a year and a half ago a doctor told me that I would have a really hard time conceiving and that I would need surgery to remove endometriosis lesions from my uterus if I wanted to get pregnant. We decided to think about the surgery in a year or two and kept an international adoption as an option in the back of our minds.

I decided to return to school in hopes of becoming a midwife. Two months into classes and I come down with the "flu" and realize I'm pregnant. Even though the baby could be here tomorrow we're both still in a state of shock--we can't believe we found each other let alone that we're having a baby!!

Last week my midwife told me I needed to stop working since my blood pressure is on the high side, so I've been relaxing at home, nesting up in our little apartment. Maternity leaves are horrible here in the States so I'm hoping she gets here sooner than later so I can spend as much time as possible with her before heading back to work.

We can't wait for our summer together...
