The Night Before

Tonight is the night before we go to the hospital to have our second child. I thought I would take a moment to record some of the things that are going through our minds. As I write, Amy is gathering stuff to take. It is about 9:15pm, and we are getting ready to load up the car. We have gathered clothes, the camera, the video camera, and even a toy for Cassidy to give the new baby, as well as a toy for the baby to give to Cassidy.

Amy is nervous. She generally shows very little emotions, but I can tell. I keep trying to reassur her. We have been through this before, and we will make it through it again. It is kinda hard, but joyous at the same time.

We have several people who are very willing to help us if we need them. The plan for tomorrow is as follows:

Wake up at 5:10am
Get to hospital by 6:00am
Try to keep Cassidy occupied until lunch
Ryan and Cassidy go get lunch
Cassidy goes to the Hammon's to play for a little while
(Here is where it gets a little tricky)

Subpart Plan A--Baby comes before 2:30pm
Ryan picks Cassidy up and brings her back to the hospital to see the baby
Our new family spends quality time together
Ryan takes Cassidy to the Mooney's for a couple of hours to play
Ryan picks Cassidy up and either goes back to the hospital or home for the night

Subpart Plan B--Baby comes after 2:30pm but before 5:30pm
Ryan picks Cassidy up (before baby comes) and brings her back to the hospital
Rachel and Grace come to visit Cassidy in the waiting room
Cassidy comes to see the baby
Ryan takes Cassidy to the Mooney's for a couple of hours to play
Ryan picks Cassidy up and either goes back to the hospital or home for the night

Subpart Plan C--Baby comes after 5:30pm
Ryan picks Cassidy up and brings her back to the hospital
Ryan takes Cassidy to the Mooney's for a couple of hours to play
Ryan goes to get Cassidy and takes her to see the new baby and then go home

Look for pictures, as we will post them as soon as possible. The name we have picked out is

Callie Renee Robinson.
