My Super Tuesday

This pregnancy has been an interesting one. Easy for me to say - Kel might have a different way to describe it. After weeks of worrying that this baby was coming too early, with trips to the hospital and medicine to stop all of the contractions, we finally made it to the "safe zone" where the doctors felt comfortable enough to let him come. Kel was able to stop taking the drugs to hold off labor and we got ready for a new baby at any time. That was over two weeks ago, with no activity since.

To our excitement, and Kel's relief, we found out yesterday that the doctors' plan on inducing labor on Tuesday. Planning a date seems odd since neither of the other kids were scheduled, but we are very anxious to meet this new little guy.

I can't imagine my son without thinking of Ben. Knowing how much Ben and Ally are different, I am really looking forward to finding out what makes this guy unique. It's funny how strongly you can feel for someone you've not even met. It's kind of funny, but we weren't always sure that we would have more children. Unknown to us, though, God did have plans for our family, and already has plans for this little man. I'm ready for Tuesday.
