39 Weeks Down....

....None To Go.

So tomorrow Baby Harris is coming into this world ready or not. I am officially 39 weeks tomorrow and hence have a scheduled c-section set for early early am.

Today ends a lot of things...

- being pregnant
- my "baby" being a 36 in 2 year old
- our family of three
- the freedom of toting around a single child
- sleeping through the night
- only loving one child more than I can imagine.

Tomorrow begins a lot of things...
- the life of my second child outside its comfy little spot in the womb
- being a Mom of two/family of 4
- Gavin as a big brother
- a whole new balancing act
- breastfeeding, sleep schedules, burping, questions, sleeplessness
- loving another child & filling an already full life with so much more love.

We're excited and nervous. Nervous about surgery...about health...about the unknown. Excited to have this kicking little knobby-kneed (well it feels that way) child out of my belly and in my arms to snuggle and kiss and love.

Whatever this child is...boy or girl (dying to know!!)...its God's gift to us and I know that if this baby can bring into my life just a portion of what Gavin has brought me, then it is going to be amazing and we will be so richly blessed.
