I went for a check-up with dr Grassie, and all looks good for an induction. I'm going to book into hospital tonight at 10pm, they start the drip medication at 11pm, then I sleep a while, then they do the gel medication at about 4am. The anaesthetist will come do the epidural at 6am. And baby Ella should arrive somewhere between 10am and 12pm! Wow!! Sounds like a brilliant plan, I do hope all goes smoothly.
Tomorrow this time I could be holding my baby girl! ♥
Can't wait for Mia to meet her baby sister, wow.
I prepared a present for Mia, from me, for her to receive tomorrow morning, when she wakes up and I'm not here. I wrote her a special card, and did a voice recording of what I wrote, so that when she opens the present, my mom-in-law can show her the card and play the voice recording back to her.
Here's the letter:
My darling Mia,
Mommy is in hospital now, so that your
baby sister Ella can be born. How
exciting! I can’t wait for you to come visit us at the hospital and meet your
sister.
Mommy is missing you so much and
thinking about you all the time. I love
you with my whole heart, and I am so proud of you. You are going to be such a wonderful big
sister! I know you’re going to be my
helper girl, and a good girl, and a gentle, caring, sharing sister.
I can’t wait to come home again, so that
we can all snuggle together – you, me, pappa, and baby Ella!
I’m such a lucky mommy, to have two
special girls to hug and kiss and love.
Thank you for being my big special!
I love you to the moon and back.
Mommy

And here's my very last bump piccie - 39 weeks today!
I've loved and savoured the miracle of pregnancy - now it's time for the miracle and blessing of birth and babyhood!
Just read your last 3 blogs so I'll comment on all of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that your Dad is doing well, it's great news.
Love the easter post. I must say, I missed my easter egg this morning. I've gotten used to be at home (Liam was ill last week) and just reaching into the cupboard to get an egg.
May you and Ella be blessed later and tomorrow. I can't wait to meet your newest little angel. I'm sure she'll be a beauty like the rest of her family
Good luck Jess, all the best
Thanks so much Helen, I look forward to sharing my news.
DeleteHope Liam is all better!
Hugs

Oh my word, the butterflies, such excitement about to commence. You have gone above and beyond to get Mia ready to be a big sister and I know because of it Mia will be the best big sister any little girl could ask for. Wishing you everything of the best as your family of 3 becomes a family of 4! Will be thinking of you. xx
