Baby Girl Comes Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the big day for Baby Girl Yaun's arrival! We will go to the hospital early in the morning for the c-section if all goes well. It has been such a strange and different feeling knowing that we have a day and time that she is coming. We still don't have a name picked out yet. We have it down to three or four. Hopefully we will know it when we see her. That or Katie has already decided what she wants the name to be and will tell me. It has been very exciting around here lately. It has really been hitting me the last couple of weeks that this is our last few moments as a family of three. We have tried to spend special time with Drew as his days as an only child come to an end. I feel sorry for him in a way that he really has no idea what is about to happen. He is very excited though and has been telling us that he wants to help change her diapers. It has been such a blessing to be a father to Drew these last four years and I can't imagine having a little girl now. In getting ready for the baby I was getting videos off the camera and started watching some from when Drew was about two. It was the sweetest thing how little he was, how smart he was, and how he was learning how to talk and what in the world was going on around him. We spent sweet time together today as a family after church, looking first at pictures of just Katie and me, then Drew's baby book, and then reading his book about becoming a big brother. Then we watched some of the movies of him over the years. Considering not only that I had cancer, but also that it was testicular, I am so blessed, not only to be alive but to have the ability to have children at all. These two are truly special blessings. Twenty years ago I may not even have made it myself, and now not only am I healthy, but I am going to have two children. It's just been amazing to reflect on this fact, on Katie and me, and on Drew today. Tomorrow everything will change. Our lives will be turned upside down. But with all the late nights, early mornings, crying, and dirty diapers will come many more blessings and memories. I'm sure she will have me wrapped around her finger from the moment I see her. At some point tomorrow I will try to post some pictures and hopefully announce her name as well. Katie has been doing great, although she has had some trouble sleeping as of late and I have been spending most nights on the couch. She has done a great job of getting everything ready. We still have to pick up the rocker/glider chair that just came in and we have to put things on the wall, but that is pretty good for us. I'm sure more things will come once we have a name too. Below is a picture of the bed and beddding, it's not the best, but I will try to post some more later. You can also see part of the wall in the background which is pink. The others are pictures of Drew from his Big Brother class last month as he prepares to change diapers and go to surgery. Time for my last nap for a few years now!
