are you ready???

i am getting this question a lot lately...are you ready for this baby to come out? frankly, probably not. materially we'll be fine, but how do you ever prepare for someone totally new to come to your family and be TOTALLY NEW???? lest we forget, babies have to learn to eat, poop, sleep and eventually smile and the learning is fun but it is sometimes hard and you help them do it all on very little sleep. that being said, i am way excited. i am excited to see what he looks like, does he look like his daddy, because the other two kids definitely favor that way...does he look like me? he has my "second-toe-is-longer-than-the-first" thing going on...what else??? i am excited to see how the kids respond to him. i am excited to see my toes again:) and while waiting for baby to come it's like BAM! one day you are doing your normal thing and the next, life has changed again, and always for the better. babies are nothing but happiness really, what a blessing it is to be able to have a baby, a new baby in our family. i am grateful for all that entails and i am so happy to be a mom. the "blake countdown" says 15 days today...we shall see when he decides to make his entrance. just know little man...we are as "ready" as we can be:)

Jen, I hope everything goes well for you with the labor and all that craziness. Whoever he looks like, he'll be another adorable Wilson. Good luck!

I'm glad you're feeling so ready! I don't know why I'm not, but I totally feel unprepared for this one. I knew for 9 months she was coming and now that it could be any day I'm a little freaked out and nervous and feeling unprepared. Life with 3 sure will be different huh? :)
