Today is the day! We finally get to meet the newest member of our family! We are so excited, but at the same time a little overwhelmed with all the emotions that come along with that. Also the emotions that come along with having a c section have been keeping me up since 3am. I feel like what should be feelings of elation and excitement are being covered up by ones of uneasiness and nervousness. I know that once everything gets going in the morning, those feelings will flip flop. Anyway, the C section is scheduled to start at 12:30.
While I have these few extra hours to get last minute things together, I am going to take advantage of it. That way it will leave me a little more extra time to spend with Evelynn.
I wanted to write before the c section to ask for prayers, from those that will read this.
Specific requests…
*God to guide the surgeon and those that are a part of the whole ordeal.
*Me to get over this horrible cold. For those that have had a c section can understand that coughing after the surgery is so painful!
* The baby to not catch the cold. That would be a horrible start to life outside the womb.
*Evelynn. She seems to be coming down with the cold. That she won’t get it or what she has will just go away.
*Evelynn to be ok while Ryan and I are at the hospital for the next couple days.
*My parents as they watch Evelynn for us.
* Ryan to have extra strength. He has been a little lacking on sleep due to an extra work load.
*Last but not least, for the baby to be healthy
Thank you all in advance for the extra prayers. I will be back on to post pictures and everything tomorrow. Check back.
