The day is here. . .

No spontaneous arrival from little Miss so we'll be heading in shortly to be induced. It's surreal. It's a mix between the arrivals of my first and second. As I got ready this morning, it reminded me of the morning I got ready to meet Gracyn. Although it's like Peyton's arrival too in that while we're walking in to the hospital, who knows how long the birthing process will take. Peyton prayed for my recovery last night, and told me to ask the doctor if I could just stay ONE night because I need to get home to my "other baby" - as he pointed to his forehead.

As I type, DH is laughing at me for "blogging" before I leave for the hospital. Then I remind him that this is my journal, and if I don't document what I'm feeling right now, I'll never get it back. His response, "True." I'm surprisingly calm and comfortable. Praise God! More than anything I'm excited to see the face of little Miss. She seems like an easier baby from within the womb, than Peyton. It's been so long since we've had a teeny tiny peanut in the house, so I hope my newborn care taking skills kick in naturally! I remember being a little scared (although I would have never admitted it then) bringing Peyton home. Not to say that I wasn't a little out my element taking Gracyn back to the hotel either!!

I'm praying for a comfortable and safe delivery! Praying Peyton and Gracyn behave for Gong Gong, and that they are free of any anxiety or worry! Peyton's been praying his sister grows "straight" - (From the book, God Gave Us You, the Mama prays that her baby's bones grow straight.) Get ready my two sweet peas, baby is coming home soon. . .

To My Littlest Miss,
I have enjoyed feeling you move about within me. (Minus those periodic painful jabs!) I am so blessed to have been entrusted to become your Mama, and I can't wait to see what you look like. I have an image in my mind, and in just a short while, we'll see how good my instincts are! We have yet to decide on your first name. We want to see what you look like before we make that very important decision. You have a very excited big brother and big sister waiting for you! Big brother is ready to help with diapers, wipes, and feeding. Big sister just adores babies and will be running to you every second you make a peep. I love you my littlest sweet pea and I can't wait to hold you in my arms!!
