And in less than 24 hours...

we will have ourselves another baby and I will be a mother of two!  Holy smokes.  I am filled with lots of different emotions -- particularly since it's a pre-planned situation I have more time to think about things:

- I am excited to meet this new little person as well as have him/her thrive outside of me :)

- I am also anxious for surgery, even though I had it before it was under completely different circumstances so I didn't have time to think about what-i-thought-about-it.  I am reminding myself that while it's major surgery, it's all been done before.  There really is no easy way to bring a baby into the world!  I am lucky as I will have a good friend who is an OB nurse, be in surgery with us.

- I am hoping, like all new parents do, that the baby comes out healthy.

- I am somewhat weepy at the fact that my special time with just Sophia will end.  Of course we will always have our special times together, but bringing another child into the dynamic will of course change things.  I got all sad the other night when I tucked her in, thinking all the while she has no idea how her little world will be rocked.  The good thing is she does seem extremely excited about being a big sister.  

- Adding another little person to the mix will also be a good thing, and that is the adventure we are about to embark upon...

"And what happened then..?

Well...in Who-ville they say
That the Grinch's (Chris') small heart
grew three sizes that day!

And then the true meaning of (love) came through
And the Grinch
Found the strength of ten Grinches...plus two!"

Until then, goodnight and may all be well tomorrow.  Thank you all for your good wishes and thoughts. I'm so appreciative to have such great friends and family in my corner :)
