2 Months

Exactly two months from now, I will be wheeled into the operating room getting ready to find out if this little one growing (and growing, and growing) inside me is a boy or a girl. We have talked about plans for delivery day. I think Brett and I going to stay at a hotel near the hospital the night before and enjoy a nice dinner just the two of us... our last one for a while. We have to be at the hospital at 7:00 for a 9:00 surgery. After the delivery and during recovery time, we will let everyone know the big news but ask for no visitors until late afternoon or evening to give us plenty of time to meet and spend time with the baby and rest a little. Hopefully we can arrange it so that Ky is one of the first visitors. We are planning to help Kyler pick out a gift for the baby shortly before baby day and we will have something fun for the baby to "give" to Ky as well.

To say I am anxious to meet this new little one is an understatement. I can't wait to add another car seat to the vehicles, have that empty nursery filled with a sweet little one (it feels like I have been walking into that completed nursery forever), and have my arms extra full. I can't wait to see Kyler as a big brother, giving kisses and concern to his new little sibling. And to see Brett with his wish finally granted - two kids close in age. We are so incredibly fortunate for that and at some points wondered if it would ever happen. I know it's not going to be a walk in the park. It will be crazy and tiresome and hectic and stressful, but it will all be worth it and before long we will be wishing we could rewind to those days. Please pray with us that everything goes as planned and we can welcome a healthy baby into this world in a couple of short (although it will begin to seem like eternity for me) months.
