Almost there!
Well, as of tomorrow we will have only 1 week until Katie Elise Vance will be here. I am being induced on August 20. We have to be at the hospital at 4:00 a.m. to get the process started. Good thing Matt and I are morning people!
We are as ready as we’ll ever be, I guess. The other night Matt made me smile. His eyes got really big and he said, “I need the Cliff’s Notes on how to take care of a baby!” Ha! I thought that was so cute. I told him I didn’t think they made those and that he’d just have to figure it out as we go.
We had 2 showers. One was hosted by 2 of my friends from church and the other by my nurses at work. They were both wonderful and Katie has received so many nice things. We have most of everything washed and put away. Our bags for the hospital are packed. We’re just waiting now.
I’m still working. Matt and I have been blessed so much that I will be able to stay home and keep Katie instead of putting her in daycare. So…my replacement started in our department on Monday and I plan on working until right before Katie’s born in order to train her.
I have been able to rest some in the afternoons when I get home, but by the time night rolls around I can’t sleep! I think it must be God’s way of preparing me for the multiple night time feedings that I will have with Katie.
Thanks to everyone for their concern, love and thoughtfulness. We’ll let you know when she’s here!
