Halloween Bash and Final Thoughts!

This morning, Caroline was invited to a Costume/Halloween party at her friend Jack's house! All of the children at the party are the kids of my Bible Study friends. When we started the study, three of us had just found out we were pregnant with our first children and within a year, all of the moms represented in the picture below were pregnant with their firsts--it's funny what hanging around pregnant ladies will do to a girl:) Anyway, it's nice to have friends who are in the same "life cycle" as you. The children are becoming friends with each other and get so excited to see each other at playgroups and church. Today was no exception. Elizabeth (Jack's Mom) did a great job planning this party and the kids had a great time with each other!

The whole crew from top Left: Caroline, Cole, Kailyn, Bryson, Caden, Savannah. (bottom L): Anna Kate, Ethan, Jack, Caleb and Kathryn. We were missing Sara Frances this morning.

Busy concentrating on her masterpiece.

The work of a true artist!

So, as you can see by the floating baby to the left, tomorrow is the day! By this time tomorrow, God willing, I'll be holding our sweet baby boy. I can't believe it! It just feels like the other day I was in the bathroom staring at a positive pregnancy test with a huge smile on my face! Now the big day is tomorrow morning and I am a combination of emotions....Excited, nervous, so happy, scared, worried, sad... I'm excited to deliver him and see his face, nervous about the rumored difficulty of juggling two kids. I'm sad that it's not going to be just me, Roy and sweet Caroline anymore. I'm worried about introducing her to a sibling, even though I know it's the best thing we can do for her. I'm nervous about what kind of a baby he'll be. I'm SO HAPPY to not be pregnant anymore and I'm just a teeny, tiny bit scared about the whole C-Section thing. I know that when I hear his cry, it will all be just silly thoughts and I'll be fine. It's just me being pregnant and hormonal, I guess! It's so funny how girls and guys think differently. Roy's biggest worry is providing for more than one child and bringing up a child in a crazy world. Those two thoughts didn't even cross my mind!

Today is a rainy, cold day and I'm listening to my Michael Buble CD (greatly recommended) as I prepare a killer meal for us tonight. On the menu: Prime Rib, Green Beans and Smashed Potatoes. I have a Reber staple for dessert--Magic Cookie Bars (Denise, are you saying "YUM" right now?!) and Roy bought me some pumpkin pie ice cream from the Marble Slab the other night, so we can have that too. By the way, it is delicious ice cream--it tastes like frozen pumpkin pie!! My parents will be here tonight and then tomorrow morning Roy and I will be arriving at Carolina's Medical Center at 7AM! The little guy should be here by 9:30-10. Thank you to everyone who's called or e-mailed me to tell me they're thinking of us and will be praying for us tomorrow. It means so much:) I'll hopefully post or e-mail pictures tomorrow of RA2!
