Well, in just 24 hours I should be in the operating room getting ready to meet Bennett. Hard to believe the day is almost here! I wanted to thank everyone for such nice comments on my last post! There was one in particular that I wanted to point out because I love the way Jessica from Ten Squares, Three Squiggles wrote it (I hope she doesn't mind me picking her out!)
Jessica said...
What if you fall madly deeply hopelessly in love with your new baby?
What if he is the most amazing human being you will ever know?
What if he makes you a better person?
What if he makes your other children grow to be better people than they would have been without him in their lives?
What if you fall in love with your husband all over again for the way he fathers Bennett?
These are the things that make me say "if I knew then what I know now". I look back on my worries while I was pregnant and wish I hadn't put so much energy into them. I hope Bennett's upcoming "birth day" goes smoothly for both of you and that you'll be back home in a couple of days.
Isn't that awesome?! Thanks Jessica for helping me see the positives in life and turning my "What Ifs" into something to look forward to!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!! Although mine won't be in the "ideal" location (hospital bed), I know it will be one I never forget! Please remember to wear your sunscreen! (Don't Fry Day) :)
I will update tomorrow as soon as I can!!
Hi Adrienne...I've been thinking of you often this week. I will be praying for you and for sweet Bennett tomorrow. I'm excited about his birth so I can only imagine what you're feeling right now. May God bless you, Bennett, and the rest of your family!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck, Adrienne!! You & Bennett are in my prayers....I know tomorrow will be an awesome day for our whole family! Give Mike my love. Also, your friend, Jessica's comments were wonderful! They really had an impact on me.
ReplyDeleteLove, Aunt Molly
Praying and anticipating a wonderful birth experience for you and Bennett. I absolutely can't wait to see pics of the little fella. It makes me smile just thinking about it!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Adrienne! I am SO excited to finally "meet" Bennett! I'll be looking forward to an update : )

Praying for an easy delivery and a HEALTHY BENNETT :)
ReplyDeleteMany Blessings to you ~
What an incredibly blessed day you are going to have tomorrow - bringing a brand new baby into your family! My prayers are with you for a safe and quick delivery as well as with Bennett, that any health problems, if any, will be minor and he will be in your arms sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you.
Please know that you will be in my prayers tonight and tomorrow as Bennett makes his appearance into this world. We will be praying for an uneventful c-section and a quick recovery for both of you!!!
ReplyDeleteJessica's comments were PERFECTION!! Just the right thing! Isn't it amazing how GOD sends just the right things your way to quelch the doubts and fears???? AMAZING!!!
I'm looking forward to meeting the sweet little guy.......be calm and let GOD's peace flow thru you, my dear!!!

You are such a special person and I am so glad that I was able to stumble upon your blog. May God bless you and your family on your special day tomorrow. Jennifer Underwood
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you!Praying for a safe delivery for you and your precious Bennet!
ReplyDeleteAs you can tell, we are all dying in anticipation! I'm so excited for you and jealous all at the same time. I read your post where you quoted your friend, and couldn't help but shake my head in wonder at similarities. I've been saying since day one: "if I had known then what I know now...I'd be doing cartwheels"
ReplyDeleteThis will be quite the memorable Memorial Day for you!
Hugs and prayers. Ditto to everything Jessica said. It was the same way for me. Can't wait to see pictures of your angel!
ReplyDeleteAdrienne -
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you and your family. For a smooth delivery, for that first hug and moment you get to hold sweet Bennett in your arms. But most of all I will be praying for His peace - may it surround you during such a special birth day!
I will be looking forward to an up-date!
With much love and many hugs,
Libby
Just know that I'm thinking of you and praying for you, Bennett and the rest of your family!
ReplyDeleteWow, I hadn't read that comment by Jessica. Thanks so much for posting it Adrienne. You've been in my thoughts alot and will continue to think and pray for you tommorrow. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm flattered my comment resonated enough with you to post but especially glad that you are going into Bennett's birth with such positivity. As I type this, he may just be the Earth's newest member. I know the second you get to hold him and feel him, smell him and breathe him, kiss him and hug him, that will be when my What If's come true for you. I can't wait to read all about him.
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of you and little Bennett! You two have been on my mind all day. We are praying everything goes smoothly this far!
ReplyDeleteAdrienne,
