One more dawn, one more day...

One day more!

I can't believe we'll be welcoming our little one tomorrow. I am a mixture of happiness and fear, excitement and worry. I haven't had a newborn in 4 1/2 years - I hope I can remember what I'm doing here. Sometimes I sit in the nursery in the midst of all the pink and try and wrap my brain around the idea of having a daughter. I must admit, after two boys, I can't quite picture it. I'm looking forward to it, though.

I'm also quite emotional, as I think about the fact that this is most likely the last baby for us. This is the last day I'll feel my sweet little baby squirming around in my belly - truly my favorite part of pregnancy. The last day to park in those special parking spots for expectant mothers. The last day to wear this supportive harness-thing to help hold up my heavy belly. The last day we are a family of four, before becoming a family of five. It feels surreal.

Think of us Wednesday, 'round about 1:30. All prayers are welcome for a smooth c-section and a healthy baby girl. We are excited to finally meet her.

I felt the same way you did about knowing I'm not having more kids and feeling that's the last time my baby will wiggle around inside me. I loved being pregnant and hated it at the same time.
