The time has come for Travis and I to meet our sweet baby boy that we have so anxiously waited and prepared for. I am headed to the hospital tomorrow night (Monday) and they will induce first thing Tuesday morning. As I sit here and type, I know I should be getting as much rest as possible but I can't get myself to go to sleep. I have so many emotions going through me right now...anxious, excited, nervous, scared, etc. As I laid in bed tonight, I couldn't help but think this is Travis and I's last night in our house where it will be just the two of us. I think of how in just a couple of days when we bring Will home, our house will be full of the wonderful sounds from our baby and the memories we are going to add to our lives.
As I have gotten closer to my due date, I often find myself wondering who is he going to look like, what color hair and eyes will he have, etc. It is such a miracle of life. I have enjoyed my pregnancy and feel really blessed to have had such a healthy one. I can honestly say, the one thing that I will miss most about being pregnant is feeling him move in my belly and watching Travis' expression on his face when he would feel Will and then talk to Will and tell him that he loved him. It melted my heart every time. He is going to be an amazing dad and Will is so fortunate to have him to look up to.
At the same time that we are enjoying this exciting time in our lives, there isn't a day that goes by that I haven't thought about my grandma. She would have given anything to be here to see her newest great-grandson. She wanted nothing more than for Travis and I to have a baby that she could watch grow up. I know she is looking down on us and will be there in spirit as we welcome Will into this world.
So as we celebrate two wonderful years of marriage tomorrow, please say a prayer for us as we head to the hospital tomorrow night to prepare for the arrival of our son. We can't wait to introduce him to our family and friends.
Here is one of my most recent pictures at 38 weeks going to water aerobics!
