Anticipation

Tonight, Trey and I are checking in the hospital and will be meeting our sweet baby boy tomorrow. Hopefully, it won’t take as long as it took to bring his sister into this world. At my visit with Doc Sams yesterday, he told me my fluid level is steadily decreasing and he feels like it is best to go ahead and induce. I have mixed feelings about it. I really wanted to try to hold out and go into labor on my own, but I am so ready to hold sweet Baby Holden. And I am definitely ready to not be pregnant any more!

My emotions are bittersweet and I have to admit I am a bit nervous. I’m both excited and sad that the 3 of us will soon be the 4 of us. I’m nervous because I don’t want to go through the HOURS and HOURS of labor like I did with Maison. More so for Trey, than me, I think. I have vivid memories of seeing the nervousness on his face when I labored so long (19 hours) with her. Doc Sams assures me this one won’t take as long but I’m not holding my breath. I just hope I can get him out without a c-section.

Mom and Liz will be here shortly before we leave. They are going to take Mae to school tomorrow because I know she won’t make it all day sitting up at the hospital. We are just going to play it by ear to see when she will come up there.
