Two More Days

It is almost time to go. The nervousness and excitement are both building.  It is hard to know which feeling is more dominant.  We went to Birmingham on Thursday for Julia's pre-op, which was a little bit of paperwork to sign, some instructions on preparing for the surgery, taking blood, etc.  They really, REALLY stressed getting yourself as clean as you can before you even arrive at the hospital.  After the pre-op, we discovered where Mary Beth and Sam live.  They are in a nice neighborhood that is very hilly.  They have some nice neighbors with young kids, so they are already making good friends.  We will go up to Birmingham Sunday afternoon and spend the night with MB, and then showtime at the hospital is 7:15 am on Monday.
