It's 1:00 a.m. and I have to be up in 4 hours! (don't forget the time on these blogs are not correct)I can't believe the day has finally come! Matt and I have had one tough and exhausting day. It has been filled with so much emotion, prayers, and love from you all and our family who are back at home and those who have traveled to be with us. I can't believe this is my last night to carry my baby safe and sound in my belly! This pregnancy has been so wonderful aside from the obvious struggles we've endured. Having him grow inside me, experiencing new feelings each day, and having this time to bond with a person I've never even met has been such an indescribable feeling. I can't even imagine what feelings tomorrow (or techniquely today) are going to bring, because I can't even imagine loving my little P more than I already do.
My c-section is scheduled for 9 a.m. We will try to update the blog tomorrow or just as soon as Matt or I can and hopefully post pictures soon too. I know it's not just Matt and I going through this...it's all the people surrounding us that love and care about the 3 of us so much that are experiencing this too, which is why we are going to try and keep you updated as much as possible.
We want you all to know that the out pour of love and support we have received today through your blog comments, phone calls, text, and emails have meant the world to both Matt and I. I have also heard from several of you that your children are praying for us and our little one as well, and I can't even begin to tell you how much that has touched my heart. They truly are a gift from God and I can't wait to receive our gift tomorrow!
Thank you all for touching our lives in your own special and unique way! We love you all and look forward to having you by our side as we begin this long and tough, but rewarding road ahead of us.
All our love,
Matt and Brandi
*sniff* It doesn't surprise me to see that you were awake at 1am. By the time you read this your "gift" will most likely be here and you will know that "a gift from God" is an understatement. You three are blessed to have each other. Pearson has two awesome parents (also an understatement). I wish I could be in Florida to celebrate little Pearson's arrival BUT I'm there in spirit.
ReplyDeleteBrandi and Matt-
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the arrival of Baby Pearson. We are praying for all 3 of you. Your story and your strength are truly inspirational!

Thinking of you! I can't wait to hear an update and that Pearson is doing well and holding his own!
