Today is The Day!!!

 

Wow!  What a wait!  It's 4:45pm on October 28th, 2014 and I just got a call from U of  M asking for me to not come to check in for inducement until 8pm.  I have a feeling that tonight is going to be a long night!!

 

Today has been filled with packing bags, cleaning house, and making calendars for the next month to have a schedule for my girls.  As there is really no plan to any of this except that I may not be home for a while so I can watch over Baby Whalin.  People keep asking me if I'm ready - how do you get ready for something like this?  If I knew then I would have much more of a plan!!

 

I would like to take this opportunity to THANK everyone that has extended prayers and thoughts our way.  Today is the beginning of what I like to call my "New Normal" as things, I'm sure, will never be as they are today.  And I'm not even speaking in the way of Baby Whalin's heart condition but just having three children is going to change everything.  I truly appreciate everyone that has shown support to our situation and really I'm so thankful to have such wonderful friends and family.

 

I would also like to say congratulations to the Mercado Family who just welcomed their third beautiful daughter last night.  I was told that labor was not easy for this one - which makes me even more on edge.  Again, as stated before there is no plans for this one for me but I was thinking of going natural and not having an epidural.  But with the recent stories I have been hearing - having that as an option doesn't sound too bad!!   

 

I look forward to sharing pictures and more of our story with you.  But for now, I got to go.  Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Peace, Love, and Cupcakes
