Tomorrow is the big day...

The hospital bag is packed, the phone lists are made, the email lists are made, the family is in town, and now mommy and daddy nervously await the arrival of Baby Brother. Family came in town Sunday night so we could hang out on Monday. Joshua is being covered up with love and attention from all his grandparents as well as his Aunt Celeste. On a sad note, Aunt Elaine also came down Sunday night but broke out in shingles so she can't visit with our family. We hope she feels better soon.

Today was a great day. Grandpa, Aunt Celeste, Grandottie, Jerry Pop, Joshua, and Mommy had lunch at Mellow Mushroom. Then Mommy and Aunt Celeste went to Mommy's last doctor's appt and heard the baby's heartbeat. Mommy also got some medicine for a cold she has. Meanwhile Joshua went swimming with Grandpa while Grandma, Granddaddy, Grandottie, and Jerry Pop looked on. Daddy was home when Celeste and I got home because he is sick, but is starting medicine so hopefully he'll feel better soon. We finished the last minute preparations and enjoyed a family dinner. Next it is off to bed as Mommy and Daddy have to be at the hospital at 5:30 tomorrow. The C-section should start at 7:30 and we will get to meet our son shortly after 8am. We are anxious about the surgery and excited to meet our new addition and introduce him to his big brother. We know all will go well but will be glad when it is all behind us. Thanks for your prayers and well wishes. I'll post pictures of our family of four soon!
