As time continues to creep by and I get closer and closer to holding my little girl in my arms, I just can't help but get overwhelmed by a hundred conflicting emotions. I feel extremely fortunate that I've had such an enjoyable pregnancy and to be honest, I'll miss being pregnant and being able to take Laurel with me everywhere I go. But at the same time, I can't wait to get to know her face-to-face.
Another thing I'm really looking forward to is seeing Tim with her. As anyone who knows Tim knows, he is going to be an amazing father. I joke about it, but I honestly think he has more maternal instincts than I do (and a lot more practice with babies and toddlers!) I feel very lucky to have a husband who is so prepared to bring home a new baby.
I feel like overall we are ready for her arrival, but as Tim likes to point out (daily), we still have a lot more to do. We don't have a car seat or stroller. We haven't washed her bedding or any of her clothing. I don't have a hospital bag packed (or even a list of what I need to put in one). I need to finish the artwork I'm doing for her nursery. We've got to get a dresser.
While I know that all of these things need to be done, I believe that emotionally we are ready for her! I love knowing that every single day since I found out I was pregnant, Tim and I have prayed for her at least once a day (that's more than 215 prayers). And that's just from us. It's so wonderful to know that she will arrive into a world where so many people will have loved her and thought about her long before she takes her first breath.
