Chicago, Sufjan Stevens
Today, driving myself to my last doctor's appt. before this little angel is born, this song played. It helped me.
I have tried so hard to imagine loving a third as much as my first two children. It troubled me before Tessa was born, but quickly got eaten up in the smell of her sweet breath and tetris-like quality that made her a perfect fit into our family. Is it possible to harbor this fit a third time I keep wondering?
And then there's the aspect of our Eternal Father loving each and every one of his children--as vast as that number is. What am I concerning myself with three for?
So, the first line of this song pretty much made my heart excited and filled with love that I'm sure is going to soon be regenerated enough and then some. Miraculously. Can't wait.
Thursday. 7:00 a.m.
All things go.
Wish us luck.

Yay! So excited for you. Sorry for the lull in commenting. I've still been reading your blog, but only seem to have one hand free whenever I do, so typing is difficult. Actually, I'm typing with one hand right now, but really want to wish you our best before your big day! I have no doubt any anxiety you feel will quickly melt away when you meet your new babe. Can't wait to see pictures. You will be a great mama of three!
i love that song.
Lovely post Alicen! You are a terrific mother and we are so happy for this little guy to arrive. Best of luck tomorrow! All of our thoughts, engergy, and prayers will be with you.
Good luck! I was wondering if we would be hearing baby news from you soon. Isn't it a weird feeling wondering how you can possibly love another baby as much, even though you know of course you will? Excited for you to finally meet your new little man!
You are in our prayers. Can't wait to see pictures of the little guy. Wait and see how this little boy steals your heart being a "Momma's Boy" It's so AWESOME!!!
