We are scheduled to induce on Wednesday the 15th...that's in 2 days!!! I am so very ready to meet little Mr. Kade. In some ways I can't believe how long it's taken to get here, but on the other hand... wow the time is here! We go in at 4 a.m. (really!?) and I'm thinking I should be hooked up and getting my pitocin by 5. Hopefully not many hours later, Kade will be here safe and sound. I am so nervous and excited at the same time. I DREAD the actual process of labor and all. Trust me I did NOT forget that pain in the least. Those people who say you forget about it, well they lie. I knew having Elliana wouldn't be a cake walk, but really I had no idea what I was in for. I'm praying this go around might be a bit easier. Maybe the epidural will at least work the entire time anyhow. Ultimately though, I truly just hope and pray that Kade gets here safely and is healthy. We have been so blessed once already with a perfectly healthy, happy little girl...I just pray God sees fit to give us a healthy little boy as well!
Today I'm chilling with Elliana and soaking up our last bit of time together with just the two of us. She's so stinking precious and I know the new addition will be a big adjustment for her. She's such a good natured baby though, so I really don't forsee any major issues. She is crazy about babies and wants to love on every one she sees. She said, 'love you' for the first time today. Even though she was just repeating me and doesn't know what it means yet, it still melted my heart. :) I'm really going to miss her while we are at the hospital. It will be her first time spending the night away from Bryson and me. I know she'll probably do great, but I will so miss laying her down and checking on her throughout the night.
Bryson has been so good to me during this pregnancy. I've had lots of back pain (with this massive belly of mine) and he's been very good to give me back rubs and help me out in so many other ways, like bathing Elliana for me. I know he's just about as ready as me to get this baby here. I can hardly move and grunt around like a pig when I do. Bryson's always having to pick things up for me and get me things that I can't reach because I can't bend over! I'm so incredibly blessed to have Bryson as my husband. He is a wonderful daddy too, and I know adding a son to the family will just be icing on the cake!
Tomorrow we go for our last OB appointment and then of course Wednesday is the big day. Please pray for our family this week as we are transformed from a family of 3 to a family of 4!
