Today is the BIG delivery day! It is 2:30 AM in the morning right now...and SHOCKER, I am wide awake! In a couple of hours I will be headed to the Hospital to prepare for my C-Section, which is scheduled at 6:30 AM. I have so many emotions..its crazy! I'm EXCITED (like Christmas), scared to death, anxious, etc....all the expected emotions I guess. I literally can't wait to just be in my recovery room and holding our new little addition already!
The past few days have been so up and down for me. I have been EXHAUSTED beyond belief, taking several naps a day and STILL sleeping at night. I guess that is what happens when your making a baby, huh? I have been off and on excited and nervous...depending on the day. Some days I could totally wait longer for the baby come and others I just wanted it over and done with NOW! Its sort of cruel what these darn hormones do to ya! Ha ha. Acid Reflux has been in full force the past week...so, I know I'm being silly, but I am HOPING that means she has beautiful hair! Silly Me :)
As for the kiddos...ANXIOUS I don't think even describes their feelings. They are so darn excited, I love it! Rachel has had a bit of a hard time sleeping the past week. Coming into my room often in the middle of the night just to ask if it was time for baby to come yet. I LOVE how much she is in love with her baby sister already. We have pictures posted on our refrigerator of her and her baby sister (that she drew and colored) and just yesterday she wrote a letter to baby Sarah...can you say awwww :) Brock and Kory have been telling EVERYONE that the baby is on its way! I guess I can just say I am super excited and looking forward to the three BIG helpers I'm gonna have! Me and Clint decided that with all the anticipation and excitement that the kids have been experiencing that it would almost be cruel to make them go to school today. We feel as if they are all ready and old enough to be able to participate a little in the whole hospital/delivery/baby's arrival event today. Since I will be having a C Section, they will wait in the hallway with all the other family members and will be there when the new baby is brought out. I am definitely making someone record their reaction...I definitely don't want to miss it!
I can't believe how literally time just FLEW by for this pregnancy. I must say it was my very FAVORITE pregnancy...even with being the SICKEST with this one. Clint has been a HUGE support to me, which helps...and the kids have been AMAZING! I have been able to enjoy many special moments of this pregnancy because the family has been so understanding and helpful. I really do appreciate all their love and concern towards me. I have enjoyed watching the maturity grow in my kids with preparing for this new baby. It is unbelievable how much they have grown up in the last nine months...proving to me, they are ultimately ready to take on this new adventure with me. I am just so in LOVE with them...that's all :)
Well...I guess I should go and try to get a few more minutes/hours of sleep in before all this excitement goes down. I am so grateful for this wonderful opportunity I have to be able to care for one more of our Heavenly Father's children. I can't wait to breathe in this experience and enjoy each and every day and moment.
