Like Christmas Eve, But Only Better

Well friends, we've reached the end!  I cannot believe how excited, anxious and nervous I am.  This is my last night at home before we head to the hospital tomorrow and the anticipation is enough to keep me awake all night tonight.  The hospital bag is packed and all we do now is wait.  We are over the moon to meet our sweet baby girl Avery.  

I can't wait to see her sweet face and to count all of her fingers and toes.  I am so overwhelmed by joy to see my husband hold his daughter for the first time.  The thought of it brings tears to my eyes. The pain and agony of the labor process will be worth bringing my sweet angel into the world.  I am so proud to be able to be her mom!  God chose us to be her parents and Avery to be our daughter.  It's the most precious gift we could ever be given.  

Thank you for your prayers for our family!  We will be admitted at 5 pm tomorrow evening after the lung maturity results.  We are confident, along with our doctors, that she will be ready to enter this beautiful world on Thursday.  So like I said, it's just like the anticipation on Christmas Eve, but only better.

I cannot wait to hear that little Avery has made her arrival! Praying for you, your sweet hubby, your doctors and nurses and your family! :-) I keep thinking it would be so funny if I went into labor while you're going through your induction/beginning labor!!! You never know! Although I'm sure my mother would rather that Emma Claire wait until they get here!!! Only one more day! Then she's allowed to come out ;-)

Thinking about you and am so excited! I love that I've gotten to follow your amazing adventure at the same time as my own :-) You're going to be such a wonderful mama!!!
