Four more weeks

Lauren will be born in four more weeks. There is nothing new around here - we're just getting ready for Lauren to come. Will and I have been running a lot of errands and doing some cleaning. I don't know if I'm ready to have two kids, but I am definately ready to be finished with this pregnancy. It is definately more difficult to be pregnant while you are caring for a two year old! It is getting more and more difficult to get up off of the floor and my body is so sore by the end of the day!
As I prepare for my c-section, I am so sad that I will not be at home for three nights. It is so hard for me to leave my little boy. I am thankful to have wonderful helpers, both my mom and Joe's mom, to take care of Will. My mom is flying up on the 4th of February and she is going to stay for two weeks. I don't think I'd make it if she wasn't here. I'm not going to be able to drive, pick up Will, walk up and down stairs, etc. I think the hardest part is going to be that I can't pick up Will. I don't think he'll understand and it will be so hard.
I am excited to see this little girl. I wonder what color hair she is going to have.... red or blonde (though I was born with dark hair that later fell out). Is she going to have brown or blue eyes? Is she going to sleep (now, that's the important question!)? We are excited to have a family of four, though we're all worried about the lack of sleep and how Will is really going to react. He is excited about having Lauren come, but we don't know if he really understands!
I must go..... Will is having a breakdown about his balloon. Joe is almost home - he's been gone all week.
