Maybe I need to change the name of this blog to "All about Luke" instead of The Benson Family! Poor H and M aren't getting much face time around here lately.
That'll all change in about 12 days.
Just a funny: someone asked if I was a scheduled c-section or induction. The answer is no. Luke will arrive whenever God is ready for him to arrive. I'm just counting down to November 13 for fun...it just gives me a little something to focus on. I'm a detail oriented procrastinator. I don't really do much until the pressure is on, which is quickly approaching.
My goal this week was to clean one room really good each evening. That goal was shot all the pieces when I realized that something I thought was planned for next week is actually tomorrow evening. SOOOOO...instead of continuing on with the plan, I crawled around on the floor picking up pieces of trash that our lab had strewn about. On the other hand, when H got home, we did some good work in the kids' room. That felt really good.
In 12 short days (or sometime close to it!), our baby boy will be here. Fear and trepidation are replaced with absolute excitement. My only fear is the actual delivery. The closer it gets, the more anxious I get about that. M's was quick and easy...what if his is long and drawn out? I've allowed myself to get a bit psyched out. Last time, I had no idea what to expect. This time, I've got the memory of before. The good thing is that labors come to an end...and I'll hold him.
His clothes are so tiny! His little snuggles are so soft! His diapers are minuscule! And in 12 days, it will all be so real.
Stay tuned....we'll be back to our regularly scheduled "The Benson Family" in a few days!

Ha! I have a feeling it is going to be more All About Luke in 12 days when you finally see his sweet little face! :)
Good luck with the prep and try not to worry about delivery too much...it'll be tough, because birth always is...but then it will be over and you'll have LUKE! Your long awaited gift from God. You can do it!
Everythign worthwhile requires an effort :-). Remember, it's only 24 hours out of your life...So excited for you!
I can't wait for you to meet him!
Don't worry too much about labor...there are always drugs :) Every baby is different...but surely Luke has every intention of making things easy on his mama...right?!
