Night before Christmas

I'm so excited tonight. I feel like I did when I was little and it was Christmas Eve. We've been anticipating tomorrow since February and today was a flurry of activity, grocery shopping, cleaning, preparing. I'm supposed to go to bed and get a good nights sleep but that will not be possible. It's like Christmas knowing I get a present tomorrow. I know what I asked for - a healthy, sweet tempered wonderful baby, but I wonder what I'll get. What will my present look like? Act like? Smell like? Will he be contented or colicky? How big will this gift be? Due to my gestational diabetes I'm guessing big as is my doctor.
I was actually pretty grouchy for most of the day, kind of scared and worried about having surgery. But all that has passed and now it's 11pm and everything that can be done is done, bags packed for the hospital, house cleaned, gear set up and it's just time to dream and be excited about tomorrow's gift.
