D-Day.........

When I was 15 I was getting ready to start high school. I decided I was going to be awesome and challenge myself and take AP European History with the infamous Mr. Rice. Little did I know that this would include having to read a book during the summer and write an essay about it. The book that was assigned was D-Day by Stephen Ambrose. I thought, this could be interesting and I will learn a lot.

Well, let me tell you, it was a very long book. It felt like it drug on and on and on. Sure I learned a lot about war and heroism, but not really my cup of tea.

My second D-Day experience came on April 5th 2011. I was positive that I would be a mom for the first time, after 40 weeks of pregnancy, I wanted a baby!  I got induced 2 days later and then finally had Samantha on April 8th.

As of midnight last night I find myself on my third D-Day experience and I am realizing that it is much like the first two. I came into it with much anticipation and expectations and it turns out it continues to drag on and on.

I am planning on an induction tomorrow afternoon (unless they are booked and then they can push me back) so it's looking like a do-over of Samantha. Hopefully this ones head won't be quite so large!

No fun pal, sorry! At least w/ this D-Day & the previous there's more to look forward to than Mr Rice's vulgar stories...just trying to make the wait seem a little more bearable, but prob not working :) Can't wait to hear boy/girl & see pictures! Love ya!

It's like knowing that you need to run a marathon, bu not knowing when the race starts. Emotionally exhausting! Good luck, my friend! Can't wait to hear good news!
