This Is It!

In less than 12 hours I'm going to be meeting our new son!
I am a jumble of emotions right now. Mostly feeling quite unsettled, a little impatient, a lot tired, and nervous too!
There's no backing out now. It's time!
We dropped the kids off at my parent's tonight. I feel for them. They are excited but their lives are really going to change. Chad told me today at breakfast that it won't be the same because I'll be busy with the baby and won't be able to do stuff for him and Nathan anymore. I reassured him that I would be there for him just as before. He must have all sorts of thoughts running through his little mind. I think I'd better love him a little extra in the upcoming weeks!
The baby is squirming around as I type and I am not going to miss the jabs, kicks and punches. I am not one of those gals who really enjoys pregnancy. I am thankful though that my pregnancies are uncomplicated.
Well, I think I'd better try and get some sleep. We have to be at the hospital at 6:15 am. What the heck?! The surgery is scheduled for 8:00 am.
Thank-you to all of you who have let me know how much you care and for all your prayers and encouragement!
Next time I am on blogger it will be posting pictures of the new little man.

I feel almost as excited as if I was the one having the baby! As I type this you're about 30 minutes away from your surgery and you are at the forefront of my thoughts and prayers.

Can't wait to 'meet' your new addition! :)

Sometimes other kids will tell their friends "oh no, not a new baby...your Mom will never have time for you again". Honestly, this hasn't been my experience and I didn't find that my kids have suffered for adding another member to the family! Also, this reality is the only reality you and your family will know.....so YOU get to make the rules about how it affects you all! :-) YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!

WELCOME, BABY!!!
