Today I realized that in no more than 3 weeks 3 days (hopefully less as I'm due in 2 weeks 3 days but they say the first usually comes late and Dr C won't let me go longer than a week late) you will be here with us, your Mommy and Daddy, making us a family of 3 (or 4 with Stella, who is going to quickly find out that she is not our one and only baby any longer, pobre cita!)! The family that we've wanted for so long now is SO close. As excited as I am, I think anxiety has taken control of Mommy's body and brain. There is still so much to do and as Daddy just put it to me, our lives will never be the same. That feeling makes him anxious but makes me really happy because I just can't wait to be your Mommy! I can't wait for them to put you in my arms, so I can hold you close, look lovingly at you for the first time and count your fingers & toes and goo and gaa over you. I think I'll even let Daddy hold you for a few minutes ha ha ha.
As tired as I am, I just have to troop through it, organize myself with my lists, complete all the last minute projects and baby shopping, and get our home sweet home ready for your impending arrival. I also need to get back to yoga and start walking. See there's so much to do, AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
Ok, breathe, no stress... In, out, In, out...
Whoosh, now that that's off my chest, I can tell you all about the wonderful happy things that took place this past weekend when your Gramma Linda came out for a visit. She put together a virtual baby shower for us, surrounding us in person and via phone and webcam by those closest to us whom all got to share in our joy. We were lavished with so many great presents for you. It was a nice afternoon filled with family, friends, excitement, good food, great cake, love, little people, furry ones and a ton of fun.

My very good friend, Yvonne, flew up from LA to be with us at the shower, crazy sweet of her and she even took some maternity pics of us as an extra special treat. Look at the almost 3 of us!

And then on Sunday, Daddy and Gramma started work on the nursery so we have a place to keep all the thoughtful, generous gifts. The theme of your nursery is farm animals. I am obsessed! I think it's going to be SO cute. I will post pics when complete which hopefully will be soon. There's just a few things we are waiting for in the post and some things that I still need to order - like a mattress, even though you won't be sleeping on it for a while. Grandma Gladys bought you a Moses basket so you can be right next to me for the first few months while we wake up every 2 hours for your feedings... I think I'm well prepared for the lack of sleep and waking up so much since I haven't gotten a good nights sleep in longer than I care to remember - mostly due to all the bathroom trips. Ah, the joys of pre-parenthood. Guess it'll be a while before I can get my oh so very missed 8-10 hours of blissful sleep.
At least tomorrow I get to lay on my stomach! Soooo looking forward to my massage! An hour of pure heaven!
And as always, so looking forward to meeting you, my sweet love. Soon, very very soon.
XOXO
Mommy
