Since my blood pressure was up today, the midwife suggested inducing labor tomorrow morning at 7:oo a.m. Though I had hoped to avoid induction, I found myself saying, "Sure!" How could I turn down an opportunity to meet our baby?
It's an odd feeling, knowing that we will meet this baby tomorrow. Very surreal. It's difficult to imagine that the next time we walk through the door, we will be carrying another child. A little helpless needy infant.
We felt prepared. Now we don't. Everything seems rushed and it's hard to feel mentally and emotionally ready. But, in the end, it won't matter I'm sure. The baby will be here and we will love him or her insanely.
It's just so weird to knowingly walk into so many unknowns.
But after tomorrow (hopefully) this baby will have a face and a name and we will be a family of four.

Praying (with joy) for all of you today! :)
Shelley, I had stopped going to your blog, because you haven't written much lately! I was surprised to find this! It still seems surreal to me to have another grandson! He is so sweet, though! What a precious baby! I am sure he will bring us all a lot of joy just like Matthew has.
