We're ready!

Or are we?

The nursery is done, we have all the baby essentials, the house is clean, our hospital bags are packed, everything seems ready. But are we really ready for this next step?

We were both shocked to find out I was pregnant in December. I was definitely expecting it to take us a while to get pregnant and it happened when we weren't even trying. What was initially a total shock has now turned into the greatest blessing in our life! The past 39 weeks or I guess 33 (we didn't find out until I was 6 weeks along) have prepared us to be ready for this moment.

And we ARE ready! Stephen and I are both so excited! We can't wait to welcome our son into this world! Today I was working and Stephen text me and said "I love you and I can't wait for tomorrow". I love that he is so excited. I know he is going to be a great Dad! We are both a little anxious and will be until our baby boy is here and we know 100% that everything is ok. We are both so ready for this day!

It's the last night with just Stephen and me. The house seems quiet and still. I can't help but think of all the sounds that will soon carry throughout these walls. So we are just going to enjoy this quiet, still night. Tomorrow our lives will be changing forever as we go in to induce labor. But we ARE so ready!



Stephen III,

Your daddy and I are finally going to get to meet you tomorrow or Friday. We are hoping to meet you tomorrow, but we will see how well you cooperate :). We love you so much already. I can't imagine how it will be to see you and hold you for the first time. We are just giddy with excitement for you to join our family!

I have so many hopes and dreams for you, baby boy, but most of all I hope you know everyday of your life how much you are loved!

Love,
Your mommy
