Desires

It is now 2 days until the due date. Needless to say, Joel and I are constantly wondering, planning, pretending, talking about and guessing what it will be like to actually see her for the first time! It leaves me breathless to think we're this close, yet no-where-near-done, all at the same time.

At this point, it appears that we will be unable to take her home immediately from the hospital. She will have to go into host-care until things are finalized in court. We don't know how long that will be, maybe 1-2 weeks from the birth, but we are not sure. I can't tell you how hard it is for me to let go of this, realize that I am not in control and leave it all in God's hands.

Whenever she does come home with us, we are prepared (I say this tongue-in-cheek as I know that everyone with children is laughing hysterically at my claim to preparedness)! But, I can tell you that there are two grandmas-to-be who are knitting and sewing like mad!
