So the I's have been dotted and the T's have been crossed. My to-do list is super short, and only includes the 3 first and middle names we've chosen for our Baby Girl.
In less than a few weeks (I hope!), we'll finally have a babe with a name. I'm so excited to meet our little princess, and I can't imagine what it'll feel like to finally do so. I've felt so blessed throughout my pregnancy. Other than some fatigue, which was cured by an iron supplement, I've felt amazing. I know some women dread the last few weeks of their pregnancies because of how uncomfortable they feel, but as of today, I don't have that feeling. I don't want to wish away these last few precious days because I know being blessed with one healthy baby is a miracle in itself. I don't know if I'll be able to have more children (although we would love 1 or 2 more) and I want to embrace this feeling knowing it may not happen again.
Hubs and I have grown so close throughout the last 9 months. I don't know if it's a combination of a relatively easy pregnancy and the sense of calmness that I've felt, but he and I have bonded over this experience and have enjoyed every minute of it together. He's a saint, that man, and I am blessed to have him! I can't wait to see him with our little girl. He will be such a proud Dad and will love her more than I know he's capable.
Itty bitty clothes...
Saturday morning, I got up before Hubs, and went into the nursery to organize her hospital (diaper) bag. I sat on the white sheepskin rug, and laid out her things, making sure we had everything we thought we'd need for her arrival. Her sweet little sleepers, coming home dress, and headbands made me swoon. I can't get over how tiny everything is!
That night, we went out shopping to buy new tennis shoes and use up a Gymboree gift card that we had received from the ladies who do my nails. We ended up purchased this GEM:
Yup. Baby Brine's first bikini!
Again, can't believe how tiny this is! We ended up buying a 3-6 month since we'll be heading to the beach in July when she'll be around 2.5 months. I'm hoping for a Buddha belly, but that's just me ;) Hubs died at the cuteness, if that means anything!
I asked Hubs this morning if he was getting nervous about her impending arrival. He said no, he was ready. I asked him if he thinks he'll panic once I'm in labor, and he again said no, but said he may have a hard time seeing me in pain. Love that man.
All in all, we're super ready, and super excited, to announce the arrival of our baby girl. We're enjoying the last few days of our family of two, and are soaking up the quiet time in the interim.
