Wonder Tot

Okay, so, it's 5:30 in the morning and I've been up for about a half hour or more. My body is still not getting with the program and is like, "WTH, woman? Get back to bed!".

You know, I'm thinking.....I can do this....piece of cake. I had some anxiety about the "big day" but now that it's here...it's all good. I got this. I've got my big girl panties on (hold on...let me check....yup, big girl panties...lol) . One of the things I was worried about was trying to coordinate everything so that I could focus on Aidan's needs but still ensure that the other 3 got taken care of with school and what not. But Josiah is going to walk them to school, then catch his bus. I should be back in time to pick them up after school (I hope). Liam had some anxiety about that.....wondering when he was going to see me again and was I going to be there to pick them up. See, in our family, unfortunately, going to the hospital isn't a good memory. Things don't go as planned. Now, I'M not worried but to the little ones...... is Mommy coming back? is the baby coming back? Stuff like that. They haven't said anything like that but they are a little more clingy than usual.

Well, I better go get Wonder Tot and put him in the car. Pray for the little rascal. He wasn't supposed to nurse after 3 am but around 4:30, we forgot and did our usual nursing. Hard to remember that stuff when you're sleeping. Pray it doesn't adversely affect him with the anesthesia.

Thank you all for praying and for your encouragement. I like what my dear friend, Dawnie, said on my Facebook Wall (have we really been friends for over 20 years?! wow. :-) ):

He's done alot of healing since then and you know better than anyone how STRONG the Lord has made him. He's a fighter and this is a "no contest " for him. This will probably take only a few minutes and I know you and Aidan will get through this with no problems.
