anxiously awaiting

I just wanted to say how anxious and excited I am to have this baby. Besides my hands and feet being swollen to the point of pain...I really just want to hold my baby. When she kicks me I can't help but think that any day now, I will be holding her in my arms...outside my body. It is the most crazy, exhilarating feeling. At the same time, I am trying to keep myself busy so as not to think about it too much. I may not have her for a couple more weeks. And I can't help but think how much my life is going to COMPLETELY CHANGE! FOREVER!
Until then, I will continue reading blogs, making cookies, cleaning, prepping my cloth diaper station, and organizing our "office." Oh, and putting my feet up, per Russell's orders (it really is good for me to do and he is a great person for making sure I am taking care of myself. What a great guy.)
Anyhow, those are just some thoughts.

Yea! I am so happy for you that you are getting so close! It is SO HARD waiting these last couple of weeks for the baby to come. With my first I kept thinking how many times can I arrange the crib, diapers, clothes and mop the same kitchen floor, but I wanted to do anything to keep busy. Amazingly when it seems like you may never have your baby they come and it is wonderful. Best wishes for everything!
