the night before

here are the thoughts going through my mind the night before my wife is scheduled to be induced into labor.

• I sure hope there are enough beds available that we actually get in.
• We finally decided on a name!
• I've really enjoyed conversations with my wife lately. I love her more and more. I hope we don't let jockeying for sleep time in the coming months drive a wedge between us.
• Why am I still up when we are scheduled to go into the hospital in 5 hours?
• At least 2 sets of friends have said that the transition from 3 to 4 kids is not too bad. I hope they're right.
• I wish we would have gotten our third child potty-trained before bringing home another diaper-maker.
• We are incredibly blessed as a family.
• I really hope I get to share some good news and put some cute pictures up here soon and that everything will have gone well.
• The Lord is good. We put our trust in him.
