Blessings…

Since Mickey hasn’t written in here forever, I’m going to update for him. My name is Shasta. I’m his wife. 🙂

Yesterday was Mickey’s 25th birthday. His day started out kinda crappy, so I tried really hard to plan something that would make the day special for him. He didn’t want to go to work, but he had to because we are saving his vacation/sick time for when we have the baby. Anyways, while he was at work I did a lot. I cleaned the entire house because the carpet cleaner was coming and the floor had to be uncluttered and vacuumed. That doesn’t sound so hard, but I have decided that being 9 months pregnant makes things about 500 times harder than they used to be. After that, I went downtown and bought Mickey’s birthday present. I got him an acoustic guitar, which he has wanted for awhile. Then I killed time until Mickey got off work. I made plans with our friends Casey and Megan to meeet for dinner, which worked out well because Casey and Mickey carpool together. We had a ton of fun, then after dinner, Mickey got his present, which I had left in the back of the car. He was so excited.

How is this for cheesy? I love to make my husband happy. He has had such a rough life, and I don’t know anyone in this world who deserves it more. He takes such good care of me, and I love him more every day. I am a lucky girl.

So, I am 36 weeks pregnant today. Our official due date is March 29, but I am already dialated 2 cm and have contractions pretty regularly. My doctor wants me to hold out one more week because with little boys, early delivery often causes problems with underdeveloped lungs. Besides, my parents are in Hawaii until Sunday, and have threatened me with actual physical harm if I have him before they get home. So we are just hanging in there waiting for our son.

We are so blessed.
