Are you ready?

This is a question that has been asked of me over and over again for a couple of weeks now. I assume that most people are asking if I am ready for Jackson's arrival. For those of you that know me really well, you already know the answer. No, I am not ready. I have been working at it though, with the help of Hunter around the house and all of my sweet friends and family that have showered Jackson with gifts.
I am scheduled to be induced tonight, so Jackson should arrive sometime tomorrow. However, despite my attempts to adequately prepare; the house is a disaster, my bag is half packed and to be quite honest; I am nervous. My mind has been constantly racing...I wonder if I really have everything here that Jackson will need...will my delivery be smooth and healthy for Jackson and I both...will William be "ready"???

So I pause breifly this morning to say(and post for the first time since Thanksgiving); I am very emotional at the thought of leaving William this afternoon. I just know that we have spent our last few moments together as a family of 3 and the emotions of that realization are hard for me. So to my sweet, first, baby boy, we love you so very much and cannot be more proud of the big brother you are going to be. You have been kissing my belly for months in anticipation of your little brother's arrival. You even helped pick his name! Mommy and Daddy cannot wait to introduce you to Jackson tomorrow morning...Love you much!!


I have some really sweet pictures of William that I was trying to add to this post, but I have to leave for Montgomery and "blogger" will not let me upload them, after several attempts!
