Well, we REALLY thought she’d come early, but she has held out until the very end!! I suppose that’s the healthiest thing! But enough is enough already. Tomorrow night at 7:15, we will check into the hospital and start the induction process. Here is my giant “beefstead tomato” belly, as my mom called it:
We spent today doing some final tweaks to the nursery. A good friend I know thru dog rescue wanted to order the tree decals for me as a gift, so those will be the last piece of the project, and we’ll put them up as soon as they arrive. Today we hung a shelf, Stella’s name, and a little “shabby chic” clothes line that holds mine and my brother’s Christening outfits and will also have Caleb’s dedication outfit hanging from it. Just a little reminder that we were all babies… and the time goes by FAST.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow! Friends ask if I’m nervous or scared, and I’m not yet. I expect that’s coming, though. But I’m sort of glad this is all planned… there’s a lot of comfort in that. And I’m even glad it took this long, because I think Caleb is much more relaxed now with all he’s been thru in the past few weeks. I am so glad he’s my husband and that we are about to do this together!!! I cannot wait to meet our baby.
