Ready to go

I have traveled to California, seen my new nephew, and now my sister from Texas is almost here to see me give birth. I have bought everything I need for the baby, cleaned the house a million times, and now I wait for nature to take over. I expect to give birth in the next week or two given my history, so here I sit in my ultra air conditioned house sweating and waiting for the first contraction. The excitement and anticipation is so fun. This has been the easiest pregnancy physically for me out of the last three that I have had, and I credit that to not working 12 hour shifts on graveyard, like I was for the last three. I am still attending births at the birth center, and each birth becomes more emotional for me to observe, wondering if I have the strength and power that these amazing women do.
I am grateful for the blessing and miracle of a healthy baby, and cannot wait to meet this new person in our family. It has been an eventful month full of guests and parties, and now I settle down into myself, and reflect on my many, many blessings. I am grateful for good friends, and loving family, and can't wait to share the news with everyone.
Tony brought home roses yesterday....just because, and I am reminded often of why I fell in love with him.
Hope all is well, and hopefully the next post will be of a new baby!!!!
