Moose is almost on the loose!

So i went to see the midwives today. They don't typically check you, but i asked if she would strip my membranes to try to get things going. As she was stripping them she said "My goodness, girl. You're like 4.5 or 5 cm and very stretchy. I bet i could throw you into labor today!" Whoa. I've wanted moose to make his arrival for a week or so now, but now i'm freaking out a little. VERY soon my little billy will instantly become a big billy. He'll grow from an only child to a big brother without even knowing it. He'll have to share his mommy's (and daddy') attention and affection... So we spent the rest of the morning playing and cuddling and hugging as much as we could. I know he won't remember his last days/moments as an only child, but I will. It makes me tear up. I know we'll all adjust, but it still makes me sad to think about. I pray kyle and i can do enough to make sure billy doesn't feel alone, or like he's been put in 2nd place. I pray we can do a good job at sharing our time, attention and affection equally with both boys. I have been told it will all work out, but i want to make sure we actively work on it.
I'm so emotional, and it's about to get worse :o)

I love this post. It reminds me of holding Petie while he slept the night before Charlie was born praying for all the same things. I'm so excited moose is here! You are a great mother and I can't wait to hear all about it.
