YAY!!!!! My little girl will be here no later than next Tuesday, August 4th. I found out at my appointment today I am 60% effaced and dilated at a 2. My doc said I am ready to go and if I don't go into labor before next Tuesday then we need to be at the hospital at 6 am to check in and he is estimating she will come around 5 pm. He is guessing she weighs about 6 1/2 lbs so we will find out soon. :) I didn't know if I would want to be induced but now that I am almost at the end, I want to see her and hold her sooo bad!! My last day of work will be this Friday the 31st so Monday I will have a busy day wrapping up all the last minute things I have been wanting to do. I am not nervous at all yet maybe Tuesday morning it will hit a little bit but right now I just want her so bad that it doesn't matter what I have to go through to have her. I keep imaging how I will feel when I see her for the very first time. :)
I know I have not always been perfect and I have made many mistakes in my lifetime but I also know that God gives us his grace and mercy so we can be forgiven. I have been praying even more lately that I will be the mom/wife God wants me to be. Lord, please help me to mirror you the best that I can and live my life before you so my little girl can see the true meaning of your love and mercy. I pray that we will raise her to always trust in you and that in the times she may rebel or face trials, in the end she will always come back to you, the one that we will teach her is her one true Savior. I want her to seek you all the days of her life and be a witness to this lost world, a better one than me. Please keep her in your hands all the days of her life and protect her from evil, let her be strong and confident in who she is. I pray that she will not make the same mistakes that I have and that I can teach her about you not only by my words but by my actions. Lord help me be the best mommy I can be and enjoy the precious miracle you have placed me with all the days of my life. Amen and I love you!!
Soon I will be posting pics of Alexis Nicoll Langkamp. I am spelling her middle name Nicoll after my mom. Its her maiden name and I feel like I should name her after the best mom in the world!! She has been through this journey with me every step of the way and I know Lexi will love her just as much as I do. :)

Just beautiful ... you are! There could not be a more proud mother than I. I am undeserving, of course, but am humbled and blessed by your love and devotion to me. God bless little Lexi and may I too be a Godly example to help show the way to the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life.
Love you so much,
Mom
Yeah...so now I am bawling at work. :) I, too, pray that same prayer. To be the mom and wife that God has called me to be. That is the best gift we can give our children. I am so excited for you and for this day to come for you. Just fyi--I never did get nervous before I had him. I was just so ready. I think you will be the same. I love you Krista and cannot wait to see you holding your miracle baby!!
