5 days until Olivia is 3, John graduates, and I have reached my due date.
Any day baby could come, or it could still be a couple weeks until we meet the newest member of our family.
Secretly we are hoping baby waits till the due date, at least. I would REALLY like to be able to be at John's graduation.
Also, I have been absolutely terrified at the thought of leaving Olivia while I deliver/recover at the hospital, and how the transition to 2 will go. So, baby taking some time is a-ok with me. Of course, I'd love to not be preggo anymore, but if staying pregnant meant more time I could deal. This is how I have felt up until today.
Today, today I am ready. Ready emotionally, finally. Olivia and I watched this beautiful birth video today. Olivia giggled and was super excited and cuddly through the whole thing. I have no doubt that though the transition will most likely be hard, Olivia will be an amazing big sister. She will love the baby and we will still be able to have mommy and Olivia time. And somehow I will survive not sleeping between a toddler who doesn't nap and has nightmares, and a newborn.
So, baby if you choose to come after graduation that would be fantastic, but if you come in the next few days mommy won't have a melt down.
We are ready for you little one.
