Sick to my stomach again this morning...worse than yesterday. I tried explaining it to Eric last night...the spinal, the incision, the staples, walking for the first time, a sore incision and little people back at home...none of this is a 10 on the pain scale...I've felt the 10. But, I just would like for her to come out magically some other way. But, it will come and women have this way of gathering their strength, a strength I honestly don't believe men have, when the time comes for their children to arrive. I know that strength and peace will all come when the time is here tomorrow.

Maybe that's not why my stomach is sick this morning...maybe it's because yesterday I spent a few minutes with a friend who's marriage has ended and came home to learn about another friend who's husband has been unfaithful and he seems to have no remorse. Between these two marriages there are eight children. My heart hurts for these women and their children this morning. But, women seem to find a way to gather strength for the sake of their children and in both of these situations these children desperately need their mothers to maintain some kind of normalcy. Praying they find that strength and peace today.

24 hours from now I'll be arriving at OSU. Now I'm going to make my boys pancakes and eggs, give them a few extra hugs, and thank God for my husband and the way he loves me and my children completely.
