I think this is called nesting...?

In 3 1/2 days we will have our second baby, Isaac Jude. That is so crazy to think about! I find myself feeling very overwhelmed by the thought of it, and yet, I'm anxious at the same time. I feel like i have so much to do, in terms of getting the house ready and cleaned up, so it's nice to come home to from the hospital. I ran a ton of errands today to get last minute things finished up before I'm incapacitated! Grocery shopping and picking up prescriptions and sending out thank you notes from my shower and making sure we have diapers for everybody! ha! Am I really ready for this? I hope so! It feels like we just went through this... and I guess it really wasn't that long ago!

I was cuddling with my little munchkin tonight and realizing how much I'm going to miss him while I'm in the hospital. I have only been away from him for one night at a time... so this is going to be the longest we've been apart. Is it weird that I'm really sad that I'm going to have to be away from him? When we first got pregnant, I was talking to a mom of three, and she said something that has stuck with me, and helped me cope with the fact that I'm going to be away from Joshua: This time in the hospital with baby number 2, is the ONLY time that it is just going to be the three of you alone... so take advantage of it, and don't worry about anything else. I think that might be easier said than done for me!

Please pray for us this next week. More than anything, I'm worried about my little joshy... and how he's going to do without me. haha, maybe you should pray for my parents who have to take care of him!! I hope my recovery is just as easy as my first, and that everything goes smoothly with the delivery etc. Pray that Isaac is healthy and happy, and loves to sleep! :)
