It's official - I'm getting out of this mess I got myself into all those months ago. In 1 hour I will be lying in a hospital bed being induced into labor.
Remembering back 9 or so months ago, I'm amazed at how a few seemingly small decisions, (emotionally based in my case), can change your life so completely in a matter of minutes. Yet, here I am, and in a matter of hours I will have a beautiful baby boy in my arms.
I am feeling and wondering a lot of things right now, but mostly I'm content and calm. I know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be right now, and I feel so happy. I don't know what's ahead, but I have confidence that everything will be fine, and I am almost giddy with anticipation.
Utah Valley Labor and Delivery hasn't upgraded to DVD yet, so Shane went digging around in the garage for our old videos. The Scarlet Pimpernel is #1 on the list to watch.

This is perhaps the only area I went completely over-board. My bag of food, or chocolate really, with some crackers and bottles of water mixed in.
This is the best picture I could get of the nursery. It's very cozy in there. I think the baby and I will enjoy our time in that room.
And this is my favorite baby item in the house - moses basket and natural wood rocker. This is where the baby will sleep for the first little while, next to us in our room.
I just wanted to show you the plush inside. If I could I would crawl in there myself to sleep.Time to go.
Lauren congratulations! I am so happy for you and hope all goes well. We'll be praying for your perfect little family. I know you'll do great. Let me know how it is...I'm right behind you!

ReplyDeletethe nursery is so gorgeous. i want to rock a baby in that yummy chair so bad.
and finally, i feel so awful, i misread the invite to your baby shower. on the top it said you're DUE on the 21st, but in my hastey dumb reading of it i wrote it down that it was ON the 21st, therefore missing it and proving myself a total idiot. i'm so mad!!! i will bring you and jr. something special when you get home and are settled.
