We have to be at the hospital at 6am to check-in for surgery. Other than having my wisdom teeth out, I've never had surgery and I've never spent any time in a hospital. I'm nervous, but I know that c-sections are the most common surgery in the United States and I trust my doctor completely. The operating room is booked for 7:30am, so by the time most people are headed into work tomorrow, my job of a lifetime will have begun... I will finally be a mom!
Surreal does not even begin to describe how I feel about what lies ahead... I'm in utter disbelief of how much I can love someone that I've never met! Utter disbelief of how much my life can change in a matter of minutes... utter disbelif that I can give my heart and dedicate my life to someone before ever holding them in my arms. Yes, my life will truly change tomorrow... but I've always believed that the purpose of life is contributing to the next generation and that the best way I can do that is to raise an incredible kid or two.
In a few hours, that journey begins!
On a lighter note... We had the pleasure this evening of having my parents, Roger's parents and my sister over for some pizza and distraction. It was so wonderful to see the two families together both so excited about this little girl, she is surrounded by love.
There were lots of comments about the possibility of twins being in my stomach, I've gained 6 pounds in the last week and I am so short that I just look like a beach ball is stuffed under my shirt... here is my final belly pic.
Stay tuned for pictures of Miss Amelia Lynn Fort!
