Well today is my last day before the big day! I'm feeling pretty excited, although as the day goes on I will probably start to get more nervous. I really just want this to be over. I'm not looking forward to my stay in the hospital and I really hope I can come home early. Because of the H1N1 flu, the hospital is restricting visitors to healthy adults 18 and older, and only 2 at a time. Which means that our parents will have to take turns coming to see us. And I'm not sure if they will let Ella in to see me & Kenton. That part really makes me sad. I will be emotional already, so not being able to see her and introduce her to her brother may put me over the edge. I'm holding back tears as I write this!
I have also started to think a little more about how everything will change. Ella will not be my only priority anymore. I think it will take some time for me to get used to splitting up my attention. And it will probably take Ella some time to adjust too! But I try not to think about that part too much.
So my plan for today is to bring down a few baby items, like the swing and the pack & play, and set them up. Greg also needs to install the car seat. And I would really like to paint the shelf I bought for Kenton's room. Other than that I may catch up on a few shows, set my DVR for the next few days and try to relax!

I was worried about splitting my time, too. But, I made sure that each time that I nursed Logan, I had her bring me some books and I read to her the whole time. Then, she seemed much more willing to let me enjoy more one-on-one time with him when he was awake. It helped a lot to include her in the mundane things, like diaper changes and picking out clothes. Good Luck!
