Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the big day and my nerves are a mess. I've had quite a number of crying spells over the last week and I'm trying, desperately, to just relax. To tell myself "things will be fine." "this time will be different." "don't worry.". I dont seem to be a good liar these days...

After morning Mass, Peter and I met with our priest, Fr. B., who gave the annointing of the sick. As he was praying over the babies, they started to move. It was absolutely amazing. A good sign? In addition, we had signed up for a traveling Our Lady of Fatima statue. She's making her way around parish families, where you are asked to pray the Rosary each day she's in your house (a week). Guess who arrived at our house yesterday? You guessed it. The Virgin Mary. We put her in the living room, where our bed now is. It has calmed me, honestly... Providence? I'm hoping this is a sign that God is on our side, telling us that things will be fine... that this time, the stitch will make things different... that we shouldn't worry.

It's going to be a strange day tomorrow. At 1:30am ,we have Adoration until 3am (we are subbing a partial hour, which is why we are there at 1:30 instead of 2). Then, we have to leave for the hospital by 6:30 to make our 7:30am check-in time. Admission stuff and an epidural later, I'll be prepped for surgery by 9am. Pray for us... Please... Pray for your babies...

I doubt I'll post again until after the surgery. I'm finishing up the cleaning and am about ready for lunch. Once I'm downstairs, I probably wont come back upstairs for the day. Peter will move my iMac tomorrow or Wednesday (depending on when we come home from the hospital) and I'll post then.
