Here's the (almost) 39 weeks shot taken the other day:
We have our induction set for Monday. Only three days until the introduction of Isaac the Bonus Baby!
I'm wondering who he'll look like. I'm wondering if he'll be healthy. I'm wondering if it will go smoothly. I'm wondering if they still serve the same menu at the hospital as three years ago. I'm wondering if I'll remember how to do everything.
Of course, since he's the Bonus Baby, there are other things on my mind as well. I'm wondering how Lucy will take to him. I'm wondering if she'll suck her fingers more and if her stuttering will get worse before it gets better. I'm wondering how football will go for Thomas while Jeremy and I are at the hospital. I'm wondering when it would be best to schedule Anna's orthodontic work, and how she'll do with brackets in her too-tiny mouth. I'm wondering how Rose will feel being squeezed in the middle of so many siblings. I'm wondering how my heart will fare when part of it goes to Kindergarten with her on the 22nd. I'm wondering when Jeremy and I will ever talk. Thank goodness for Blackberry Messenger.
People love to tell me my hands are full. Well, full hands mean a full heart. My heart feels so full right now. Jeremy and the kids are awesome. I have amazing friends who threw me a surprise baby shower. Isaac has clothes! And a diaper bag with his initials! And diapers! I'm finding a balance that feels just right. The tricky part is keeping that balance when Isaac arrives. God, grant me the serenity...
