It's Time

In just in hour or so, Amanda and I will be leaving for the hospital, where her labor will be induced and little Avery will be helped into the world. She had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and her provider said it was time to get this show on the road (to paraphrase) and left the room for about five minutes and returned to say that she had scheduled Amanda to come in tonight to be induced. She said it just as casually as if she had merely scheduled her for a haircut or a manicure. I thought it was an announcement worthy of blaring trumpets, but that's just me. And then it hit me. Oh my god, this is really going to happen! My first thought was 'I'm not ready for this' but Amanda laughed and said it wasn't up to me. We went home and double checked the contents of Amanda's bag and Avery's baby bag and now, Amanda's taking a little nap to help boost her energy for this upcoming marathon. Me? I'm sitting here typing this blog post and watching a show on the History channel called "Big Foot: The Definitive Guide." Hey, we all have our ways of getting ready. It's hard to believe the next time I write a post, I will be a Nana. And my baby will have her own baby. And life goes on....
