24 Hours!

This is so surreal. As I sit here, relaxing peacefully in bed with one of my cats, I can't get over the fact that our baby will be here in a mere 24 hours. I am so ready to meet him, but it's also freaking me out! I woke up in the middle of the night last night to go to the bathroom, and I thought, "Man, I am so tired." Then I startled myself a little bit with the realization that I don't even know what tired is yet! See me this time next week, and I imagine I will be much more qualified to complain about being tired.


For some reason, I find it really comforting that my friend Jennifer is having a c-section with her (second set of!) twins tomorrow as well. As I'm in pre-op getting poked and prodded, I will be thinking of her going through the same stuff.

It really is mind over matter with my nerves. I know I can handle this. I come from a long line of tough women, and I have a doctor and a hospital that I trust. I have also learned that having Mikey in the room with me makes a 110% difference as to my comfort level. He has an uncanny ability to calm me, whether by giving my hand a squeeze, telling a lame joke, or talking about something completely unrelated to the stress at hand.

Thanks to all who have called/emailed this week expressing their well wishes. It means the world to us to have so many people praying for and thinking about us. Our little family of three is very blessed!
