It's here. The night before we meet our fourth family member, our first daughter. Mark is excited and slightly nervous. I'm nervous and slightly excited. Given the unusual delivery and how drugged I was last time, I barely remember what happened. Many questions are going through my mind. I'm actually feeling pretty excited about a few hours of time alone with Mark; we've been so busy the last couple months. Which makes me think we shouldn't need to have a hospital stay to make time enough together. We'll work on that. I'm so thankful for my family being here. They took care of Dane, mowed/weeded/seeded/trimmed our yard in a way that it hasn't been loved before, and will have food waiting for us in the freezer when we get back. It was my biggest stress that Dane wouldn't be taken care of, but that's no longer a question, and for that I'm really glad. Mark's brother was also so kind to be on call for us for the last three weeks, despite starting school again. I'm so thankful to have Mark with me and know that he'll be around for the next month. Though it will stretch us in other ways, it's a huge blessing for us, for me particularly.
Dane will be a big brother, we will meet our daughter. It's crazy to think about, but we're buckled in and ready to go. T-minus 12 hours!
