Wow. Planning a C-section is so different than anticipating labor ... you really can be certain that everything that you wanted to get done gets done! Over the past two days, we've stocked the cupboards and the fridge, Kevin's vaccuumed the house and scrubbed the bathrooms, we've changed all the sheets on the beds, washed all the clothes, set up the bassinet, packed the bags, bought diapers ... we are so ready. We're down to twiddling our thumbs ... just kidding!
It's like planning a vacation ... you pack clothes and stock up on food, you clean the house so that it's nice and orderly for your return, you wait in anticipation ... except our "vacation" does not include relaxing moments on the beach and margaritas in the sun ... it involves surgical procedures, tired baby wails, and ... what am I saying? It involves the greatest thing ever ... the miracle of life! And he's joining our family any day! No matter how much he may cry or how "difficult" it may be the first few weeks, there's no "vacation" better!!! I simply can not wait for Owen to join us!! I can't believe the big day is really almost here!! Woohoo!!!!!!!
Oh ~ we do have to wait two more hours before we meet Owen because we got bumped ... we're now scheduled for an 11:10 a.m. birth, rather than a 9:30 a.m. birth, so we have to check in at 9:10 (instead of 7:30). No biggie ~ the hospital apparently had double-booked.
He's almost here!!!
