the count down!

I went to my last OB appointment this morning and was informed that we have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am on Friday morning...the good thing is that we shouldn't hit any traffic at this hour:) It all seems so surreal to me knowing at this time in 2 day I'll be holding a baby in my arms. I'm anxious to see if it will be Ali May or Gage Shepard, I'm anxious to see who it will look like, and how big/little this bundle will be (The Doctor told me this morning that this baby will probably be around 7 pounds. If this is true it will be my littlest baby- Ty was 8.3 and Ava was 9.5)
I'm anxious to see the kids reactions especially Ava. This baby is going to rock her world. I think it will be a mix of emotions for her: love and jealousy. I know she'll get a kick out of the baby and helping out and I think she will even take ownership of the baby and want to "hold it" ALL the time. Jeff and I might have to fight her off to get our chance. But on a different note she is very territorial of Jeff and I, and I see her not wanting the baby to take away from her time of being cuddled and held. Things are changing. My kiddos are going through 2 big changes in just a week...a new house and a new baby. I a far from having my house unpacked and it's in a state of chaos right now. I've been babysitting all week from 7-7 and Thursday will be the only day I have at home. I'm undecided on how I'll spend my last prebaby day the toss up is between unpacking verses spending our last family of 4 day together doing something fun like the zoo. I'm really torn on this but I'm pretty sure I'll wind up unpacking.
