Tomorrow is the Big Day!

Can you believe it's here? Can you believe that tomorrow I will be holding my new little baby girl in my arms? I can't. But I'm so excited. With Daniel, I was a little nervous about having two little ones, but I haven't been nervous at all with this one. I'm just excited.

I have a lot to do today to get ready. Oh, it's nothing major. I'm not planning to clean the house or cook a bunch of meals to freeze. No, it's little things like packing, laundry, and sweeping the floor. John has taken Daniel and Sarah Beth out for the morning so I have the house to myself. Wasn't that sweet of him? He even went out early this morning to get doughnuts for breakfast. Yummy!

Tonight, we have our babysitter coming over so we can go out to dinner. Our anniversary is in three weeks, and we doubt we'll be ready to take a baby with us. And it's doubtful that "Baby Sister" will be ready to be left with a babysitter. Also, it has become tradition for us to go out for a good meal before my inductions; we even get dessert! And I need all the calories I can get because I'm not allowed to eat anything before we go to the hospital, and I'm always starving when I'm in labor. With Daniel, they let me have a popsicle, and it was wonderful!

Well, the washer and dryer are both running, I've had my shower, and the house is very quiet. I better get off the computer and take advantage of this time my husband has given me.

Oh, my good, real life friend Laura will let you know tomorrow when I've had the baby. She won't give you any details, but you'll know it's over. So head over there for the good news, and come back here later this week for the details.

Yay! I'm so excited for you! Going out to dinner before you're induced is a great tradition!! We went to Steak n Shake the night before we had Dallas. Haha! Maybe next time we can go somewhere a little nicer :)
