In My Daughter's Eyes

Thanks to a friend sharing her playlist on her blog, I came across this beautiful song. And no one could sing it better than Martina McBride. It's number 5 on my playlist.

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
It puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Tomorrow morning I have my next doctor's appointment. We will know more if Sophia is coming this week or next week. Since doc says he will probably induce her early, it will be this Friday or the 17th. Looks like she will miss sharing a birthday with her daddy (April 13th). It would be really nice to have her here for Easter, but I am also good with waiting until after Easter. My doc is on call the weekend after Easter, so I have a feeling we may do that.

The procedure as it's been explained to me is that my doctor will have me check in at midnight. At this time I will get my IV started, check whatever needs to be checked, and start a low-dose medication to begin the induction. Then I'm supposed to go to sleep til morning....yeah, right. Like that is going to happen! Then in the morning we start the good stuff and hopefully by afternoon or evening we have our little girl. I pray it doesn't take until Saturday! Mom said her labor with me was 6 hours. I think that is a perfectly reasonable time :) I think I've convinced John to stay on the fold out chair with me at the hospital. I just have this nervous thought of me calling him the next morning to come to the hospital and he oversleeps...that would be horrible!

But this could all change. Nothing is certain until it happens! I'll post tomorrow when I know more! Thanks for keeping up with our endeavors!
