do i look ready?

As we count down the days, my emotions are a storm. I am so excited to see the baby, but I don't feel ready at all. Not only do I not feel ready to care for a baby, but I don't feel ready to say goodbye to pregnancy. It has been wonderful! I have not had any problems (other than constantly getting kicked in the crotch), I am still able to work out and do most of the things I am used to doing. It is a little hard to bend over and if I get stuck lying on my back I look like a little turtle trying to get right again. OK, maybe a not-so-little turtle. Otherwise, I could do this forever!

This being our last weekend together before the big day, we had quite a list of To Do's to accomplish. Danny took down all the vents, cleaned them with a toothbrush and 409'd the insides of the ducts. We cleaned out all the closets, bleached the tubs, got the video camera ready and started packing a bag. We made a final trip to Babies R' Us and then hung pictures in the nursery until 2:30am. I could still think of a million things we needed to do today. Thank God for the Sabbath. More to do tomorrow as I have only 4 more days off work before the baby.

I will miss being just Danny and me. I know that Bun will add more to our life than we could ever imagine, but it has been such an amazing 5 years growing in love. I have so many wonderful memories. It is hard to imagine we will never be just us again. I am so blessed to have such an incredible husband that I know will also make the most incredible dad.

Nine more days until this chapter of our life comes to a close. Wow.


Loving every last minute of it!
