The anxiety is almost more than I can bear. I suppose a little of it could be classified as 'nervous', but mostly this anxiety is a kind of 'excited' anxiety. Tomorrow at 5AM, I am scheduled to arrive at the hospital for an induction. Some people have really bad experiences with induction, but many have relatively uncomplicated experiences. The same is true for any kind of childbirth. I guess after nine months of waiting, I'm just ready to meet Nia Madelynn.
I don't know how much sleep I will get tonight. But, blessed hospital stay! They will take care of Nia Madelynn after she is born so that her Mommy can take a LONG nap. I feel curious: will she look like Nathan or totally different? What size will she be? I feel a bit worried: will she be healthy? Will the delivery go smoothly? I feel hopeful: maybe this delivery won't take very long since this is baby #2 and I'm already quite dilated. I have a busy mind...heading a hundred different directions...it's like trying to listen to three radio shows at once!
Anyway, I appreciate all the prayers. I have instructed Nick explicitly about his role in posting pictures of Nia tomorrow evening. If he remembers to do so, you all will be able to 'meet' Nia then. I guess I'll try and go get some sleep before tomorrow--even a little rest would be better than nothing!

It's early morning here. I'm at the office, but not on the clock. I figure you are at the hospital and things are under way. Many, many people are praying for you guys today -- we can't wait to see pictures. We are all "busy loving you."
