The time has come...

About 12 hours from now I will be checking into the hospital for my scheduled induction. Emeralynn will make her grand appearance sometime in the near future and we are ready. After about 3 years of trying to conceive and 35 weeks (can't count the weeks I didn't know that I was pregnant) of severe morning sickness, migraines, and other mild unpleasantness I already know that all of it was worth it just to get to the point. I hope I never forget how blessed I am to have this experience, and to become a Mother. This time last year (June 28, 2009) I wrote "What am I waiting for? Well if I haven't tired your ears off telling you I will give the short version of it. I am getting an U/S to check to see if I have produced any follicles (eggs) worthy of baby making." I remember just thinking to myself if I could just know when or if I would get pregnant I would be happy. The truth of the matter is though I found happiness by having faith in Heavenly Father's timing.
I am applying that same thought process today as I prepare for the hospital. So many things are out of my hands and out of my control and I have learned that it is honestly better that way. I plan to take labor/delivery/motherhood one step at a time knowing that I am blessed to not have to walk through this alone. I have not only Heavenly Father on my side but also Nate, friends, and family. I do not know what to expect, except for the fact that I know I can handle whatever life has to offer me.

Thank you for all your constant prayers, support, and kind thoughts!
