The night before you were born...

Since I've been home from the hospital, it has been crazy. So much for bed rest. You just can't stop a nesting mom with a 5 year old. As I lay here, it's almost midnight, I finally feel ready. I took Grayson and my nephews Heath and Fraser to Chuck E Cheese tonight. I promised Gray since he finished his chore chart and this was my last chance for a while.

It's been a bitter sweet day. It's been such a full life being Grayson's mom for the last (almost) 6 years. I never knew how rich my life could be until he was in it. It's just so strange that it will all change tomorrow. We will be 5 instead of 3. I hope Gray knows that these babies are as much a gift to him as they are to me and Dev. I expect it will be an adjustment for him to share us-he's not used to that-but it's going to be a wonderful change for our family.

So, I am to wait by the phone for the hospital to call in the morning when my bed and nurse are ready. Every baby has a birth story and I wonder what it will be for these monkeys? Will it be long? Will it be a natural delivery or C section? Will they be healthy at 36 weeks? I will know soon.

Tomorrow I meet my two children. The tears will fall and my heart will explode with love. I will wonder how I ever lived without them. My life will never be the same - and I cannot wait.
