Tomorrow is the big day!

So our due date came and went and well...no baby.  Brooks apparently is comfortable and content with where he is...unfortunately I am not so comfortable.  This past week I've really begun to waddle and with each day the back pain only gets worse.  I'm literally walking like I'm 90 years old.  I can't complain, this has really been the only uncomfortable part so far and to only have to endure it for a week is not really that bad.
Our doctor is going to induce us tomorrow at 8:00 am (last checkup I was still 3 cm dilated, but effaced to 90%) so we are packed and ready to go!  Or maybe I should say Brooks and I are packed and ready to go.  Michael who waits until the last minute for everything (yes even packing for the birth of his own son) is currently downstairs getting his stuff together. He is also not going to put the car seat in the car until tomorrow because he doesn't see why we need to do it tonight.  Don't ask, I really think he does it because he knows it drives me CRAZY!  Oh and BTW, the car seat has been in the car (checked by fire dept and everything) for a month, but we had to take it out last week to fit everyone in the car and it just hasn't been put back in.
So what does one do the day before their life is about to change forever?  We had a very relaxed day for the most part.  We decided to go ahead and put all of our Christmas decorations up so we wouldn't have to deal with that and a newborn and mom came over and helped clean one last time.  We went to eat with four of our best friends (Mexican of course), visited with Jax, and then went to Lowes to return a light.  Tonight we've just chilled on the couch and did the norm...watched Friends reruns, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.  I know, we are too much to handle!  Oh and it's Monday so of course I will likely fall asleep to MNF.  :)
We are sooooo excited for tomorrow and I know it's going to be a long night of trying to sleep.  I've not been sleeping well anyway and the excitement of what is to come is only going to make it harder!  I absolutely cannot wait to meet Brooks and pray what every mom prays for...a healthy happy baby!!!
