9 Months and Tomorrow's Plan
Well, it seems like tomorrow will be the big day. :) I must admit I am a mixture of feelings. The biggest one is excitement. I can not wait to meet my little boy. The next is nervousness. I'm not nervous about labor at all, just nervous about will he be okay, will I be okay, etc. You work so hard for 9 months to take the best care of the baby possible...and yet so much is still a mystery. Then there is a smidgen of sadness. Yeah, I said it, sadness. I've enjoyed this chapter of my life. Being a married couple with no cares in the world (but ourselves) has been fun. But, I am ready to move on to the bigger and better life we will have with our son. I think I will write him a letter tonight. You know...the night before you were born type of thing. How I was feeling, what my hopes are for him in his life. My mom wrote me one the night before my wedding and it still makes me cry when I read it (in a good way).Okay...enough with the sentimental stuff. Sorry, I'm not usually that way. I hate sentimental greeting cards usually...they're too sappy. lol
Tomorrow:
6:00 a.m. - Call in to make sure they have room for me.
If they do, pack up and head to the hospital.
If they don't they will either -
- Tell me to call back at a later time that day, or
- Tell me to come in at a certain time later that morning.
So, that's the skinny. I wish I had more details, but that's really all I know. We can't use cell phones in Labor & Delivery so we won't really be calling anyone. I'm sure Brian will step out to call parents and any siblings to give them an update if they would like. But, for the most part we won't be calling anyone until the little guy arrives and we've had some good quality time with him. Friends are welcome to come and visit on day 2 of our stay in the hospital if they would like. :) We are eager to introduce him to everyone!
