Today my life will change. I am on the way to the hospital to be induced. I will be officially laboring... soon. As of now, I have become the member of a new group. I've experienced at least 4 births live and in color over my lifetime, but that has only been bedside. Today, I am not just a spectator in the miracle of life anymore. I am a participant.
Not knowing how this will turn out or who all will be there at my bedside is only part of the apprehension. I trust God, which is what matters most.
Please say a prayer for me and our little girl as we welcome her into this world... We are on our way to the hospital and should have a baby soon. Can you believe that? I will be bringing a baby home to parent for the rest of life.
I can't thank my mother enough for making this the hardest thing I'll ever do in my life. I am very grateful for that. She's been the best mother I've known; and not just to me. I've watched her be an outstanding mother to several children. Her own, the neighbors, and others my parents took in as I grew up. Thanks to close proximity I also have the joy of seeing her be a grandparent and parent to even other young and grown children. My mother has definitely set the bar high. At 30 something, I am still following the chain of life like children do. Imitating my mother to learn to be my best.
I do know though there are some things you just figure out. I hope being as awesome as the mother I have is one of them... Thanks momma for making this the hardest task ever. Sincerely. Doesn't that mean that if I even come close to being as great as you are I'll I be amongst the stars?
Okay so maybe that's my last emotional pregnant cry. Hopefully we'll have pictures to email out as soon as sweet potato arrives and then you'll be witness to my first cry as a mom!
Welcome a whole new world...
