Thoughts before baby

Tomorrow is the big day.... the day our 2nd child will come into this world!

I am so tired of being pregnant, so I am excited. I feel like I've been pregnant for 2 years!

I can not wait to see him, to see how similar or different he'll look from Jonathan as a baby, and to make sure he really is a boy! I don't know why I have my doubts... but I do!

I can't wait to hold a baby again! Jonathan is growing up so fast!

I'm anxious to see how Jonathan will react to a new baby. He has no idea that his world is about to change.

I'm nervous about having 2 kids, 15 months apart. What challenges will I run into? Will Jonathan adjust okay? Will baby Lincoln wake him up during the night? I don't think I'll do too well if I have 2 crying kids... and I know Nathan wont' enjoy waking up to take care of Jonathan.

I'm nervous about the c-section. I'm excited that I know the date and time, and VERY glad that I don't have to go through labor pains this time. 18 hours of labor prior to the last c-section was NOT fun. However, at that point I was so anxious to be done I didn't have time to THINK about surgery. Now it's all I think about. I pray that everything goes well. I know it's a routine thing, it's just not something I go through everyday. The thought of being cut open is not very appealing, but labor pains aren't either.

I'm nervous about the fact that I can't pick up Jonathan for the 1st 2 weeks. He won't be very happy about that. He won't be able to climb over me when we are sitting on the couch, or playing on the floor.

I'm thankful for my husband, my mom, and my mother-in-law who will be helping me out these first few weeks.

In 24 hours... I will be in surgery, hearing the precious 1st cry of a newborn baby! How sweet a sound that will be!
