I thought I'd be a mess tonight. Weepy and crying and unsure...I'm okay. A little apprehensive I guess but overall okay. It is a really different feeling to know when you are going to give birth, to have a little control over the whole thing. I like it.
The laundry is done, the house is relatively clean (as clean as I have been able to get it with out being able to bend over), and Madeline's "BIG SISTER" outfit is all laid out and ready for her tomorrow.
We've been talking about the arrival of Tucker all day. She says she is excited. We watched the video of her birth tonight. She was moderately interested...she was concentrating on her lip gloss and new purse more but she understood that the baby on the video was her and she watched very intently whenever I said, "Madeline...." on the DVD.
It was fun to watch that again. The part when I was holding her and crying and saying how warm she was got me...then the tears came...but only a few. I am really looking forward to tomorrow. I am so happy that my in-laws are here this time. Tyler was so young when we had Madeline. He was wonderful and comforting and immediately a sweet and loving father but he had to be scared! He had no family here to be with him! I think about that now and am just even more impressed with how composed he was.
So, I am going to go to bed now. We have to be at the hospital at 6:45. I say Tucker will be here before noon. Tyler says "at noon." We'll see. Thanks for all of your love and encouragement and we will post pictures as soon as we can!
