Baby Countdown: The Final Days

We’re close now. So close we can practically feel it. All of our preparations have been made. The baby room is complete, our call list is ready, and we’ve got our overnight bags packed. It’s a waiting game now. Cathy’s doctor says she’s close and is nearing the point where she could go anytime in the coming weeks…personally I’ve got my money placed on the last two weeks of February. Looking at her, she’s carrying large and low, thus reinforcing the doctor’s prediction. While day to day life is tough and only getting to be more of a struggle, the level of excitement and anticipation couldn’t be higher.

This weekend we’re having friends and family over for a baby shower. It’ll be an afternoon of love, laughs, and some good food. I may take a few photos, but I haven’t fully decided yet. We’re just looking forward to seeing everyone and considering it our last hoorah before the baby comes.

All in all, we’re ready and want her to get here. After the initial struggle of late nights, diapers, and temper tantrums, we can’t wait to show our little girl the world. Everything that we take for granted, she will experience for the first time. In essence, we’ll both be reliving our childhoods through her eyes. It’s an amazing thought. For now, we’ll just keep waiting. Waiting for the big day to come. Chances are, the next post you see on here will be an introduction…to our new daughter.
