We're Ready!

Well, here we are. We have less than 24 hours before we will have our little boy in our arms. I'm trying to get some last minute things done today, but I probably won't get to half of them. I'm supposed to be "taking it easy" because at my last appointment my blood pressure was a little high. Taking it easy it pretty much impossible with a near 2 year old around. But I will be taking it easy after my c-section. My wonderful mother is taking Benson to her house in Brigham while Jeff stays with me in the hospital. We will come home Friday or Saturday and Jeff will be home for the weekend. Then my mom will come on Monday to stay with me for the week. I'm hoping this will make my recovery a little easier.
We still haven't decided on a name. We thought of few others to add to the list. Jeff's favorites are Luke (not Lukas) and he also really likes Owen. I want to wait and see the baby before I decide on a name. There are many I like, but none of them are screaming out to me. Thanks for voting on the names. It really doesn't matter which name wins, but it's fun to see what you think.
I'm currently reading Baby-Wise. We're hoping we can make this baby a better sleeper and eater than Benson was. My sister, Dana, has done this with her baby and she loves it.
I told Jeff that he is going to have to come home and do a post so you guys can all see pictures of the baby. I'm hoping he can do it by Tuesday night.
Well, wish us luck. Tomorrow morning our lives are going to change. I hope we can handle the adjustment. We love you and we'll keep you posted!
(I feel like I should have a picture on this post, but I have nothing to put with it---oh well.)

Good luck tomorrow!! I am so glad that we were able to get together on Friday. I have really missed you guys. Shelbi and I were talking about visiting you sometime next week. We will call first and set up a time. In the mean time, get some rest and again good luck with tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of a darling baby boy in the next few days. :)
