At first we embrace the idea!
This is Sylvi, who had climbed her limber little self into the baby bassinet that is now placed in the living room awaiting an occupant. And I didn't mean her! But I think at first, before full realization of the circumstances, she embraced this new arrival.
Now I think she may be considering options. I feel as though I may benefit from joining her. Because I too am realizing what is about to happen!
I think any of us who have had previous labor experiences knows what enters your mind the days prior to the inevitable! Oh yes I want to run and hide. All of the memories of the pain and agony that Adam and Eve brought upon us!
And then for a brief moment I consider the possibility that it may not be that bad right? But thrice history has proved that yes it does hurt...a lot! So the inevitable is coming; I am panicking. Please let me hide with you Sylvi (if I fit of course). But....then I remember the amazing miracle that wouldn't be unless I endure this; I remember the moments that I look into my hero's eyes and he is helping me through and I can't wait!
So I digress...I will exit the cupboard and continue to wait for this event to come. Hopefully Sylvi will realize the same and face it head on and embrace the amazing future God has before us! So.....I'm waiting..............and waiting.....................................................................

B: Hang in there! I hear you--the anticipation is the worst! Do you go for the epidural or are you au natural?
I tried going natural (walked around/warm bath) with Brady and did about 3 hours of labor and then got the epidural and 1 1/2 hours later he was here.
We'll see if I even have time to get it with this one!
I can't wait to see how yours goes and see some pics!! Good Luck Girl!! These are the most amazing times of our lives! Great to share it with other amazing women!!
Bill said you have dropped today!!
I'm so excited for you. Do you have help lined up?
