Waiting on the New Addition

We are excitedly waiting on baby #4 to get here.  Being as our due date is tomorrow, I am very nervous about how this whole thing is to go down.  Will the baby come on time for once?  or Will it be another when I am ready baby like the other 3 were and make me wait even longer?  Well all I know is that the time will be perfect on the day and time that is just right for this baby.  Although I have joked with everyone that I am completely fine with going over due for at least 7 days so that our busy schedule can calm down and get #1 kindergarten assessment out of the way before I have to go to the hospital.  So I am probably one of the only pregnant women that you will meet saying hey I am cool with going over due and actually I prefer it. 

I can't wait to know if its a boy or a girl.  We have names and outfits picked out for both genders.  #2 says he wants a brother that has red hair just like him.  I wish it was that easy to order up what you want.  I keep telling him that we will be happy with a brother or a sister, whichever God has decided to give us.  He still insist that its a brother, we will see in just a little while. 

I think the craziest thing about the whole ordeal is that although I have been through labor 3 times I am still nervous about doing it again.  Will I make it to the hospital on time?  Will it be as easy as the other ones? Now don't get me wrong, labor is hard work, but we have been very fortunate to know what the natural process looks like and be able to allow my body to do what it was made to do without any interventions from the medical team.  I just pray and trust that God will deliver us both safely so that we continue to have a healthy family.
