and I'm Ready To Go.Seriously.
Today begins the one week countdown to the anticipated D-Day.
I'm still sick... which is a bummer... but last night I received a blessing at the hands of my love, and the coughing wasn't as bad come bedtime. I fell asleep pretty quickly too, and that is a big deal these days.
Guys... I am so excited for this baby.
My Katie has been good to encourage me to enjoy these last few pregnant days, remembering that the "jelly belly," will soon replace my squirmy little baby, and that I will miss his having him with me. She is right of course.
But still... an empty tummy... means full arms.
Did you know with both of Jack and Alaster's pregnancies I was worried I wouldn't love them enough? Crazy, I know. I already wrote about that with Jack... and I will soon with Alaster too (promise). This time though... I'm not worried at all.
I know I will be crazy about Truman.
Each night, when the house is quiet and I lay in bed alone with my thoughts, I picture our new little baby. My heart is so full and happy as I think about his squishy little body snuggled right up on my chest, close to my heart. I can practically feel his sweet breath on my neck... his soft, poochy cheeks as I kiss them... his tiny little back and bum as I rub and pat them.
There is nothing in the whole world to compare with a newborn.
Nothing.
And I can't wait!
