*my view while sitting down.
10 more days folks! we are on the countdown and i couldn't be happier. baby girl is officially due next friday march 30th, but paul would like me to hold out until april 1st...ya know, so she can be born on april fool's day. for pete's sake, i already have a daughter born on a conspicuous date (9/11) but who am i kidding, it'll probably happen.
everything's ready to go: newborn diapers have been purchased (i forgot how teeny tiny they are!), baby items are sitting in the crib waiting to be packed for the hospital at a moment's notice, and a name has been picked. although we've had it picked for a while now, ever since we found out the gender in october, i don't think we'll officially share it until she's actually here. isn't there a 1% chance she could be a boy?...that would be the ultimate april fool's joke, wouldn't it? ha.
my body is also ready to go: sleep is pretty much nonexistent, i have to pee every two minutes, everything aches when i walk (MUCH more so than with penny), i have three tops left that fit, and i'm pretty sure paul thinks i've lost my mind due to to some slight moodiness on my part...oh yes, i am very ready to hold baby girl in my arms rather than in my tummy.
(and i know, the sleeping part is only going to get worse, not better, but at least i'll have a baby to kiss and snuggle - that's some very nice compensation in my book!)
i'm so excited, i can't wait to meet our new baby girl!
