I have a full life, full of love, respect, entertainment, frustration and so many other things. This is a random collection of thoughts on marriage, kids, pets, spinning, knitting, spirituality, womanhood and friendship. Enjoy

Our New Car!
1997 Saturn, 4 door, white, no rust...so much better than the 1987 2 door pink Honda Civic that's falling apart we were driving

Sheesh Steph...you're just full of surprises lately ;) Nice car!
this was a necesity. Our other car had been given to us and was good to us for a year, but we didn't want the baby in it (most of the time ben didn't even want me in it). We got a good deal, a pastor friend of ours knows someone who fixes up cars, we paid about half of what it would have been otherwise.
Congrats on the new car! In regards to your post about needing a c-section: did you know that you can often deliver a breech baby vaginally? If the baby is butt first you cannot, but feet first you can. Not all doctors have been trained on how to do this (but most mid-wives are), so you would need to ask your doc. I know you mentioned being a little sad you could not have a vaginal birth, and this could be an option. C-section recovery is so hard and really can effect future pregs and births. Again, this may not be an option for you, but might be worth a little investigating. Either way, we are excited for you new little one! Hang in there in these last weeks.
Dena - my Dr. will not allow a vaginal breech birth. If it wasn't my first child and i wasn't so petite it might be a possibility, but as it is, no hospital here will allow it, and we can't afford a midwife (they're not covered by Alberta Health for some reason).
I'm dealing pretty well with the section, at least I know when she's going to be born! And i will be able to have future children vaginally, so long as they cooperate

Did you get my comment about excercises to turn Hana around so that you don't have to do the c-section?
Also, nice car...Dane and I are really starting to think Saturn is the way to go for our next car.
Nice car Steph! Hard to tell it is as old as you say!
Where'd you go?? Did you have that baby yet?!
