The waiting begins...

Sept. 16, 2008

Last night at 11:30pm we were woken up by the telephone. My first thought, "Oh no, it's my parents. Something's wrong with Caleb." Instead it was the hospital. They are packed with women giving birth and instead of coming in at 6am they want us to call at 5:30 instead. So we did and the hospital was still crowded. call back at 7:45. So we did. Still packed. Now we are to call at 11. We didn't want to just wait at home so we put everything int he car and headed over to my Mom and Dad's to be with Caleb a little longer and m,hopefully make the time go faster and be more enjoyable. My Dad took the day off to help with Caleb and of course so did Cory. I hope it wasn't in vain.

Thoughts: I am nervous despite the fact that this isn't my first time. I wonder if maybe being naive the first time made it a better experience because I really didn't know what to expect. I know now basically what is in store and I worry that I will not rise to the challenge. Not that I won't have the baby, because she is coming either way right. But that I won't be a lady and in control. It sounds silly, but this is what I desire 2nd to having a Healthy baby that will come home with us and stay.
