T - 1

Tomorrow is the day. If all goes according to plan, God-willing, our littlest son will greet the rest of the world. He and I are already well acquainted as he is quite the kicker, roller, and tumbler. I am thankful to finally see this little one face to face, but a little apprehensive about the c-section and recovery.

Unfortunately, everyone around here is feeling pretty lousy. Not sure if the travelers brought back a bug or we were all just worn out. Juju was up most of the night with a fever. She, Bear, Banana, and Joseph have a little cough. Now dh seems to also be down for the count. He came home at lunch (achy and tired) to give me a chance to get to confession before tomorrow's surgery and decided he felt bad enough to stay and nap. He and Joseph are finally napping soundly.

Needless to say, no sleep last night, the anxiety and anxiousness of tomorrow's events, and the last minute preparations have left me pretty wiped out. When all this excitement ends, I just hope there is a brief time to catch our breath.

Oh Nikki, I wish I was closer to give you some hands on time. Know I will be praying like crazy for safe baby, safe mommy. We will remember in our prayers tonight as a family.

Is dh going to take time off when you're down after the C-section? I know he's got a great employer, so hopefully they'll continue to be awesome with the time he needs.

Love you!

God bless you!

Nikki,
Praying that God's grace and all that adrenalin after delivery sustain you! We are so excited and will pray for all the kids and David's health in the midst of the illnesses.
