5 weeks 2 days and counting

I'm seriously keeping track of this "estimation" date. Some of my friends don't even remember their actual due dates for their kids because they say, "the baby will come when it's ready." But I, on the other hand, know that the closer I get to that date, the closer I am to being able to hold my baby girl in my arms and introduce her to the world! It's so exciting to think about in just over a month we will have TWO girls to fill our hearts with every day for the rest of our lives! Double the trouble, right?
I don't know about all that, I just know that I'm anticipating this birth with more excitement because I know what I'm in for! I know I won't be sleeping much and daily tasks are going to get all messed up for a little while, as we adjust...but then the cloud will lift and POOF! Christian and I will look at eachother and declare, "This is our family now!" and cry and laugh and totally enjoy every second we have with our beautiful daughters.
Obsessing over the time I have left also helps me keep my mind off that horrible date in two weeks:( except I just spoke of it!

I can't wait either. Just thinking about holding her for the first time is getting me misty...

Jodi,

WOW... what a great face shot you've got there! Those 4-D ultrasounds are amazing, aren't they??

Even though I always tell people that babies will come when they're ready, I do remember the due dates of each one of our kids. It's hard not to pay attention to those dates, isn't it? In any case, no matter what, soon you'll be able to hold her!

I can't wait to see photos and then to meet her in person sometime!

Amy :)

PS--what horrible date are you not wanting to think of??

how exciting! You are so close.

We have so much more time to go but I am sure that the time will just fly by.
