I woke up sometime after 3 am. Hubby was already awake. We talked for quite a bit. I told him about a wonderful dream I'd just had. In my dream, a nurse placed our daughter into my arms. I was in awe of her and then she smiled at me. It felt so vivid, so true.
We went downstairs after it was clear we wouldn't be falling back to sleep any time soon. He made coffee, I ate some oatmeal. We watched a You Tube video about horseshoeing. (Odd choice, but this is the result of sleep deprivation and mindless anticipation.) I was still so tired but it was time to call my mom, something I do each Saturday and Sunday morning. It's currently 9 am so I won't be getting any more Z's for now.
Today we have to install the car seat. We did that once, but took it out when family came to town. Now it goes back in permanently. My camera is fully charged, our bags are packed and *knock on wood* we seem to have everything ready to go.
We have lunch and dinner plans today and that's a blessing. Tomorrow we have church and then...back home to make sure we really did remember everything. Because Monday morning, bright and early, we head to the hospital.
How did we make it this far? It's hard to imagine. I've said this before, but I wish I could hug the me from a year ago, even the me from 3 months ago, and tell her that all would be well. But life has its way. We learn as we go. I think deep down, actually I know deep down, I knew this day would come. It was just a matter of when.
In approximately 50 hours, our daughter will be here.
