Tomorrow is the big day.  We almost postponed our induction until later this week, for various reasons, but finally decided to just stay with the schedule.

So now I’m putting together a bag to take to the hospital in the morning, and wondering how it’s all going to turn out.  Believe it or not, I’m nervous.  This is a big deal.  I wonder what Lilly is going to be like.  I wonder how labor is going to go.

Today we worked hard at our Monroe house, but as always, even though we accomplished much, we left behind so much more to do.  Will it ever be done?

The day that seemed it would never come is now upon us.  The best thing I can do is put on a brave face and march forward confidently.  But as Twila Paris sings, “Deep inside this armor, the warrior is a child.”
