This is surreal. Tomorrow's the day. New baby will be here and life, as we know it, will change forever. The day will be happy, it will be momentous, things will be challenging, it will all be new. I'm ready to be done with pregnancy and yet nervous about the procedure. I'm ready to meet our son and yet hesitant to see how Delaney reacts to him. I hate that I have to be apart from Delaney for several nights when the longest I've left her before is 19 hours. And yet, I'm glad I'll have some dedicated time to bond with our son before whisking him into the whirling dervish of our family life.
Sometimes I can't seem to employ words to adequately capture the range and depth of emotions I'm feeling about such an amazing life change. This is one of those times.
Good luck! Chris' grandmother's birthday was December 27th - if she's any indication, it's a good birthday to have. I'll be thinking of you!

Hmmmm, the theatre saying is "break a leg" but that seems inappropriate here. May your recovery be swift, how's that?
My SIL is also having a baby on the 27th, (her 3rd girl and 2nd child on December 27th....she's in a rut).
