I was just looking at our family picture at the top of the page, and thinking about how small my belly looked then. It is amazing what just a few months can do to change a person. Back when we took the picture I was still a little apprehensive about having another baby. She was rather unexpected, and it took me a while to wrap my head around the idea of another baby. Even a few weeks ago it seemed unreal to me, even with all the heart burn, sleepless nights, and swollen feet. But this last week has changed everything. We set up her dresser and crib. I washed and folded all the tiny baby clothes. I put up the bassinet in our room, and stocked it with diapers and wipes. Being surrounded with all things baby has really gotten me excited. I am so looking forward to meeting this new little girl who would not be stopped from being apart of our crazy family.
I have this image in my mind of what she looks likes. Since we are naming her after the Italian side of the family I picture her looking Italian, with dark skin, dark hair, and deep brown eyes. Nothing like the other girls, a look all her own. I'm most likely wrong, but its fun to imagine.
I think I am finally ready to have a baby. Now its just a matter days, and a few sleepless nights.
