It is now 6:15 PM...in less than 12 hours we will be at Hillcrest Hospital getting me ready to be induced to have the baby. The phone calls and text messages from various loving/concerned family members and friends have started to come in. All of the love and support is overwhelming. On tv this morning was Father of the Bride Part II; when the mom and daughter both have babies, at the end of the movie when they are getting ready to deliver I almost found myself breaking down in tears. I seem to be fine except for when my friend Erin texts or emails...every time I hear from her for some reason I feel like I am going to break down. I am both so excited and scared to death all at the same time. It's hard to even attempt to equate all of the emotions I have try to even process what is going to go on tomorrow. My mom asked me if I am scared about being in pain...I said well less scared of the pain and more scared of the process and it taking forever. Hopefully our little one will cut me some slack tomorrow and be ready to make the big debut (and not be too "fashionably late"). I know how many people have been and will be praying for us tomorrow and I am just going to trust that everything in my pregnancy has been healthy and normal for these 40 amazing weeks and that tomorrow will be no different. We are so excited to share our little one with the world soon.
This will be my last post before becoming a mom...just thinking about that word makes me think of how wonderful my mom is and my grandma was and for the so many other moms I know that have been such an important part of my life so far. Thank you for all you have done and for those things you have yet to do.
