We're going to have a baby!

It's 8:50 pm on Sunday night and I think it's finally starting to sink in - we're going to have a baby - TOMORROW! In 11 hours!! I haven't been able to put my finger on what I've been feeling all day... anxious, excited, happy, scared, worried, irritable, concerned, nervous... every emotion you can imagine, all mixed together. I had so hoped that I would go into labour on my own and at least get to feel a few contractions so this would seem 'real'. Part of me is feeling ripped off, because I don't get to experience the whole labour part, but the other part of me is sure glad I don't have to push out a baby. I know that having a caesarean is the best thing for the baby and myself, but I still can't help but feel some disappointment. I keep being told that once I have that baby in my arms, it isn't going to matter how it got there and I really do believe that. Sherri also told me to cherish all the movement I can feel in the next few hours because I'm going to miss it once the baby is no longer inside of me. I hope that I'll be able to get some sleep tonight, but it's like that commercial about the family going to Disneyland - I'm too excited to sleep. There's too much going through my head right now. Our lives are going to be changed forever in a few short hours. I just hope that we're ready and that our child will feel as much love from us as we've felt from our families.
