The final countdown

Well, this is it. The end of the pregnancy road.

We had our final appointment this morning and everything looked fine. At 5:45 tomorrow morning, we’ll check in to the emergency room at the hospital and get the big show underway.

Today has been a very odd day. We’ve tried to relax as much as possible (and The Wife successfully goaded me into taking down the Christmas tree), but it’s hard to really relax when you know everything is going to change tomorrow, even if that change is something really great. It feels a lot like the morning of my wedding day.

Last time around, we didn’t have time to think. The Boy came five days before his due date, so we had the luxury of being prepared for his birth, but we didn’t ever really have to sit around waiting for it to happen (except the 25 hours of labor – you know what I mean, prehospital waiting).

With the induction being scheduled this time around, it seems like today has just stretched on for forever and forever. Lots and lots of anticipation. I’m ready for tomorrow morning to be here.

Well, I’d better go to sleep. Big day tomorrow. Wish us luck.
