Early Rising

The night before the birth of my son... and amazingly I was able to sleep until 4am. I'm not sure how anyone expects you to sleep the night before. The hundreds and thousands of things that run through your mind, not including the doubts, fears... excitement.

40 weeks 1 day. He is going to be a stubborn little guy. For the hundreds of times these last few weeks that I was SURE I would be going into labor soon... and he's still hanging out, happy as a clam.

I've gone over it over and over again... should I have picked a date? To be 100% honest I picked this Tuesday because like walking, washing my floors, cleaning my house, stair walking... I thought FOR SURE this... this of all things would make him come on his own.

Wrong again mom.

So here I am, a few hours before we start everything and I think I've come to peace with this thing after much prayer, thought and constantly texting people... that this is ok. That things happen for a reason, he is coming today (hopefully not tomorrow) for a reason and that in the end, a healthy baby... healthy mom are what is most important in the end.

Grandma and Grandpa (Tom's parents) are staying with the girls while we are gone. I'm struggling with that too! I know it's just 2 days but this first part is so scary right now for me. I love my girls so very much and wish that it weren't 5am so that I could sneak in and give them all a last hug. I've done my best to prepare them that we are going to be at the hospital, that their baby brother is coming (gosh that still seems unreal to me). I hope things go well and I can see them again soon.

Well I think that is it for me right now... stay tuned... I'll hopefully post updates soon!

(I love you three girls so very much! Mommy will miss you, come see me soon!)

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
