One More Sleep. . .

Several of you wonderful commentors have put time in terms of "one more sleep." I like that. Sleeping is one of my favorite pasttimes as of late (and actually, I am always up for a good nap), and it seems to be when time passes the fastest.

So, just one more sleep before we know more about the tentative future of this pregnancy. I would be lying if I said that my evil thoughts from yesterday were all gone, because they are not. And I imagine that they won't be for quite some time. If they ever do go away, I am sure that new ones will quickly replace them. However, I did have some quiet reflection time last night, asking God to give me peace. Barely fifteen minutes later, I had a pretty bad nausea moment. I haven't had once since, but I took that little episode as a sign from the Big Guy. Even if it was just a coincidence, I am more peaceful today.

My ultrasound isn't until 2:00 PM tomorrow and I am on the West Coast. Also, remember that we have to battle traffic for more than an hour north afterward. But I will do my best to post the results as soon as I can.

One more thing. No matter how this ends up, I am so grateful. Really. I will be devastated if there is bad new tomorrow, don't get me wrong. But I will still be so grateful. I am glad for the experience of being able to carry life, for no matter how short the time. I am happy that I get to have my little ones with me, even if I can't have them for the lifetime that I am praying for. I am so thankful for the support of family and friends, both in real life and here in blogland. I am on more prayer lists and support chains than I even feel that I deserve.

So thank you. No matter what.

You can do it, your almost there, just one more sleep. Even though you've been having dark thoughts (which is totally understandable) the end of your post was pretty positive. I'll be praying for you tomorrow.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow afternoon at 4p my time!

And, just to be clear, I will be thinking nothing but the most fabulous, happy, rainbow thoughts.

So, just think about a rainbow before you walk into that room and know that you've got support and love from afar.

You and that baby(ies) and in my prayers today and tomorrow, I am hoping for the VERY best for you. Keep that positive attitude turning, no matter what happens God has a plan for you and no amount of fear, anxiety or worry is going to change it-it only makes you feel like crap! I am going to be desparately waiting to read your update!
