Patience is a virtue

In t-minus 5 hours Carey and I will make the long approximate 5 mile journey to the hospital.  Hopefully in a few hours after that we will "open" the greatest gift the Lord can give to two people - a child.  Our baby girl is finally going to make an appearance after 40 weeks and 4 days of hibernating in my belly.

I'm anxious, nervous, excited, overjoyed, stressed, happy, in love - I'm feeling all of the emotions a person can feel at one time (except the bad/sad ones).  I have prayed for a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

I'm ready to meet our precious angel but I'm not sure if I'm truly ready for the responsibility and everything that follows.  HA.  As my best friend Danielle said "just keep telling yourself that there are crackheads and criminals who have children too."  I guess if they can do it, I can too.

I had great examples as parents, so I know I'll be OK!  Carey and I together can do anything.
I'm so happy to be able to share this experience with him and become parents together.
