little orphan annie
the question has been the same all morning and the response has me feeling a bit like that curly redhead.
"tomorrow, tomorrow..."
it's a weird sensation, not unlike the day before running my first marathon. you've read about it, prepared the best you knew how with the information you had available, but in reality, ANYTHING can happen on race day. so, that same feeling of staring into an unknown void is present with me when i sing my little tune.
the caesarean is scheduled for friday at noon and really, that's all we know at this point. we're not sure how long they'll want to keep tc in the hospital, we're not sure if we get to stay the night with him, we're not sure what colour race singlet to dress him in for the ride home. all we know is the same thing that annie knew...
"tomorrow, tomorrow, it's only a day away"

Posted by: sprite at May 24, 2007 10:26 AMAre you ready for the ride of your life? Nope. There is no way to prepare for this...just so you know. But you know that don't you. Yup.
And lookie there at that half sane/civilized photo of you...you look like a parent.
I'm praying for you. Hold tight bro.

You seem so normal in that picture...we all know the truth to that. you're going to be the best dad ever and I can hardly wait to see you in that role. do you know that i've been praying for this moment for YEARS?? well, the Lord is providing you with this amazing opportunity of becoming a daddy and you will be amazed at how natural it will all become. you'll look back and wonder what you ever did before TC arrived. my prayers go out to both of you, that everything will go smoothly and that soon you will be holding your beautiful baby boy in your arms. love you guys sooooooooo much, kurd
