The day has finally come!!

Yesterday mid afternoon, Joe and I said, "this time tomorrow, we'll be heading up from the recovery room to the postpartum floor...with another baby..." And I won't lie, we both got some major butterflies!! You know, I'm not nervous for the surgery. I did it before, I know what to expect and I'm hoping it will be better (or at least no worse) than last time considering last time was an emergency c-section and this one is planned. The thing that I am nervous about is Ryder. I'm nervous about how he will handle the new baby coming in on his turf. I know it will be fine, and he'll get used to it eventually. And if it was that bad, every family would be a single child family, right?? Anyways, I can pretty much guarantee that I will be a mess when we leave this morning. Every time I think about leaving Ryder "for the last time as my only child" I seriously get choked up. I have let a few tears drop numerous times when I think about it. Mostly the tears come when I think about his feelings getting hurt :(

Yesterday was sooo incredibly gorgeous out! And to make things even better, Joe decided to take the day off so we could have one last day as a family of three! I couldn't have been happier--we ran errands in the morning, went out to lunch, and played outside all afternoon and evening. We went to the park, we went on a bike ride (which I'm sure was quite the sight to see--a full term pregnant lady riding a bike....) It was a FANTASTIC day! I'm sure today will be even more fantastic as we finally get to meet our little lady :) Our c-section is scheduled for 1pm today (not that I was sleeping anyways, but I did get out of bed at 5am to have my "last meal"!!!) so keep us in your thoughts and wish us luck!!!

Last preggo picture: me on the day of my induction with Ryder (at 41 weeks)

Me this time at 39 weeks. (WOW, I'm carrying so LOW this time compared to last time).
