Waiting game...

Well, here I sit in the kitchen watching the bottles being sterilized and waiting....waiting for the bottles to be cleaned, waiting for the family to start stirring, and waiting for the signal that baby is ready to meet us! This is a first for us, making it to the due date. Yesterday came and went, although it was a great day. The boys slept at Grammy and Baca's house and I had my best night sleep in quite a while ( in Tyler's bed!). I had a nice morning, cleaned the floors, did lots of wash and tried cleaning some surfaces because Adam has been home sick with strep throat. Fortunately, we are past our 24hour comtagious period and he seems to finally be feeling better. During last night's dinner, I really thought I was going into labor because I kept having contractions and then by 8:30ish, everything seemed to stop and here I am with baby still in the belly! I have been awake since 4:30 and tried so hard to fall back to sleep, but finally got up around 5:45 and came downstairs and thought now's as good a time as any to get the bottles ready. It is a bit of a strange feeling still being pregnant and feeling a bit like a time bomb waiting to explode at any given moment. My foot is starting to feel better and I am officially starting to get excited and a bit anxious. I just want to meet this little person, make sure he/she is healthy and start our new life as a family of five. Everyone seems excited and I have had so many kind people checking in to make sure everything is fine. Aunt paula is ready at any point to come take care of the boys. And quite frankly, I am excited to have you on the outside and not the inside. And hope the delivery is as fast and smooth as possible and everyone stays healthy! That's my biggest wish...no complications... "just" a healthy delivery, healthy baby, and healthy family. Now if only I could predict the future. Nonetheless, baby we are very excited and trying to stay patient. Let us know when you are ready! Xoxo
