Last Days As Three


Today was our last day spent as a family of three. Tomorrow morning we check into the hospital bright and early to be induced and meet our baby girl!!! We are beyond excited to see this brand new little one and to hold her tiny hands. These past few days, however, Rob and I can't help but be just a little saddened to say goodbye, in a sense, to the family we have known. We have made every effort to soak up these undivided moments with Bennett, and it has been so sweet. Tonight we went here to celebrate our last evening as the Markley three. We had so much fun! After explaining to Bennett that we would be at the hospital tomorrow, and that he would finally meet his new sister, the little guy did not want to go to sleep. He is anxious about all of the changes.

Our bags are packed as we excitedly, nervously, and hopefully enter into a (probably restless) night of sleep one last time at home before seeing Elodie Grace.

He loved all the babies.
Coincidence? We don't think so :)!

Rob here. Please keep us in your prayers over the next day or two: pray that labor would come quickly and progress smoothly. Please pray that the doctor/nurses would have extra guidance and skill. Above all, please pray for baby and momma. Next time we talk, we'll be a family of four!

We are so happy and excited for you. When we took Chanda for a check up the week after she was born, the doc said to his assistant, "This is the Kreps family". It was the first time I had heard it and my heart lifted.
