Three Years Ago Today...
I said yes to the man of my dreams, I said yes to our future, I said yes to starting a life together, I said YES to love!
After talking with Monica’s father, a trip was arranged in March to surprise Monica for her birthday. Little did Monica know that John had another surprise up his sleeve. They talked back and forth over the next couple of months, and once March arrived, the questions came. “What did you get me for my birthday?” “Oh, I’m mailing it to you.” Monica still didn’t have an idea of what was in store for her. John flew in to California and met Monica’s mom at the restaurant. Her dad brought her in, blindfolded, and sat her down. After the blindfold was taken off, Monica was quite surprised to see John sitting next to her. She had been through such a stressful week, and managed a relieved ‘Hi’ as she rested her head in John’s shoulder. At this point Monica knew what might be happening, and as the butterflies mounted, she wondered if she would make a good wife. John had no idea about her worries and was floating along, that is, until he spoke to Monica’s dad. “I think you two should communicate more,” was the answer John received. It wasn’t necessarily a rejection, but it was definitely a coded message. However, after an off weekend, John and Monica seemed to be right back where they were before. John knew he wanted to marry Monica, and with one last push of courage, he asked her dad again. “My answer’s always been yes, it’s these crazy women!” John was excited. It seemed that Monica, too, was more upbeat than usual. John didn’t know, but Monica had confided in her dad her worries, and he told her to pray. John had picked out a place in old town Sacramento to propose, but all during that day, he just couldn’t find the right place. He and Monica ventured into a candy store where John purchased some candy that he knew Monica did not like. It was starting to rain, so they went back to their car, where John politely asked if Monica wanted a piece of candy. “No, thanks.” “You sure?” “I’m sure.” “Well, do you want a piece?” “No, I don’t.” “Just look in the bag!” Monica looked inside and just looked up at John. He proceeded to tell her of his love for her and asked for her hand in marriage. She said yes.

She's here!!!
Georgia Catherine Pedigo is Here!
I'll be sure to post more details and pictures later, but for now in short here's the good stuff!
Georgia Catherine Pedigo
Born February, Friday 13, 2009 at 2:32am
Weighed 8 pounds and 10 ounces and 21 inches long.
We were planned to be induced on Friday morning but my water broke Thursday afternoon which ended up with me being hooked up to pitocin for over 5 hours. The labor never progressed and we decided to take her via C-Section. All is well and we're just "resting", feeding, changing diapers, feeding... changing diapers and loving on our little girl!
Thanks everyone for your love and support!

40 Week Appointment
Well today is miss Georgia's due date and she still seems happy as can be in her mommies tummy!
Here are the stats:
Dilated: 2cm
Effacement: 80%
Station - 1
Blood Pressure: A little high
Sugars and Protein: N/A
So my membranes have officially been stripped THREE times in the last week... YUCK! And still no progress. So if Georgia doesn't come in the next few days... Friday (yes the 13th) we go in at 6am (don't they know I sleep in!) to be induced. YIKES!
Normally this wouldn't faze me but I'm a little scared as far was G's size goes. She's measuring on the big side and because this is my first baby my Dr says I have an uncertain pelvis, meaning she doesn't know how it will react to a big baby.
So here are the probabilities:
We go in get induced and she's born just fine!
Induced and her head is delivered but could have shoulder dysplasia (Not good).
Induced and labor doesn't progress and we go in for a C-Section.
So needless to say I'm a little nervous! It's nice to know now the "day" that she'll be here, but it's also a little scary not knowing how and what the delivery hold for both her and myself.
I know God has it under control but because she is so big there leave a lot of uncertainty of how things might go.
We'll bring the computer in hopes to keep the blog updated but can't promise anything!
We would greatly appreciate any prayers that John and I have peace during the whole induction and that both Georgia and I will continue to stay healthy and safe during the labor and delivery.
Thanks so much! We can't wait to share her with everyone!

Due Date Dilema...
Here it is... the most counted down and awaited day. I mean SECOND to my wedding of course!
But seriously, there is something about a due date... it's not for certain, it's just a rough date that you get to look forward to... or in my case, look past! Your wedding if for certain, it will happen on that set date, there is no waiting game!
I can honestly say this has been a FANTASTIC pregnancy, NO complaints! And even the whole "last month dread" hasn't been bad on bit. No morning sickness, no cramping, no cravings (until lately), no horrific weight gain, no problems at all. It's been perfect! Now lets hope the same for the delivery!
I've enjoyed my time off work getting the house ready and Georgia's room all together these past few weeks. It has been a time for me to really let everything sink in and prepare for becoming a mom.
And somehow just in the last 24 hours I've gone from... "wow, we're pregnant and going to have a kid!" to "I'm ready to hold my daughter". I think she's been waiting for ME to get ready.
So to my sweet daughter,
I'm ready whenever you are... well sort of! But I know the moment that you are in my arms is the moment that I was meant to become a mom. I'm so excited to meet you and see your sweet face! I can't describe the feelings that I go through on a daily basis, because even I can't explain them! But your dad and I are ready and we can't wait to hold you and call you daughter!
We love you sweet little girl!
*Update*
I have a Dr's appt today and will update with what's next!

Craving Conversation!
Craving conversation hearts that is! It has to be one of my FAVORITE holiday candies. What's not to like about them? Their bite sized, they come in a little box, they heart shaped and the say cute little things! Now over the years they have modified the original conversation heart recipe. They have sour ones, chocolate ones, gross ones... and then the BEST ones, NECCO ones! They are by far the best flavors, texture and sayings! Only 18 days to go!
For some fun facts about conversation hearts go HERE!
But Seriously:
I've always been a fan on Valentines Day. Yes you should show the people around you EVERYDAY that you love them and not just on this one "commercialized" day.
But I think Valentines is more than that. It's a day to really bring you focus and remind the people around you just how much you love them.
It's not like we can buy flowers and chocolates or golf certificates or steak dinners every night. It's not like we can put reality and life on the back burner for the evening and just enjoy the love that we share every evening... or can we?
I think it is important to be able to share and express your love for the people around you on a daily basis, but I also think it's great that we have a day set aside each year that we can really celebrate it!

I'm going to be a MOM!
This is very exciting because I just got the call from my Dr. that If I go into labor anytime after today to just go in and have her...Yeah, that's what I'll do, I'll just go in and have a baby!?
This boggles my mind. There is so much planning involved. I mean it takes 3/4 of a year just to create this life and months upon months of ready books that all say different things. Then there is the countless hours spent with your Dr. and sometimes not with your Dr. The cleaning, the laundry, the organizing, the sleepless nights... the swelling!
And I'm just supposed to go and have her? But I'm not ready!
I thought I was, really I did, I've "raised" kids before, I've had my fair share of babysitting, nannying... you name it!
But I'm going to become a MOM, I now am in charge of someone else's life, for every decision that needs to be made... Wow, am I ready for this?
I've been so lucky to have such a wonderful relationship with my own mom and I treasure it on a daily basis. I sometimes feel like I'm a 5 year old girl again and just looks at my mom in awe and wants to be just like her, the compassionate, imaginative, and loving person she is.
I can only hope to be a fraction of what she has been in my life. She's been my laughter, my tears, my hope and most importantly my mom!
I'm so blessed to have this opportunity to become a mom and share all the wonderful experience I've had, with Georgia.
I pray every day that my relationship with Georgia will grow and blossom into what I hope I have with my own mom. Because one day she's not going to be my baby that fit into my arms, nor the toddler that will give me kisses when ever I ask, nor the pre-teen that opens up and talks about boys, nor the teenager that rolls her eyes at me... but a woman who will one day be a mom herself.
Mom,
I love you and can't imagine not having you in my life. All your goofy crazy moments and all the hard and sad ones too, they've made our relationship stronger with each laugh and tear we've shared! You're my mom and I'm so glad you're in my life and Georgia's!

Reality Check Please!
I'm 32 weeks this week and it is actually starting to settle in that I'm going to be a mom soon!
My mind just hasn't fully grasped that concept and I don't imagine it feeling like reality till after Georgia has made her appearance, or even quite some time after then.
I'm blessed to have such wonderful parents, in-laws and friends that all love and support John and I.
This is a HUGE change in our life and I'm so glad that we get to share it with each and every one of them.
Here's to another 8 +/- weeks...

Baby G is a She!
"I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works; I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
I can't believe we are half way to meeting out little girl! John and I were both prepared for a little girl, but during the whole pregnancy we both thought boy. The one thing that kept thinking it could be a girl was ALL my dreams were girl and just this last weekend I had my first dream holding my daughter. I'm sure that was God's way of preparing my heart for this sweet little one.
I can't imagine it any other way and we're already so in love with her!
We are so blessed and touched that God would give this wonderful gift to us!
