Busy Days

It seems ironic that now that we are so close to our baby being here, I'm actually paying less attention to the calendar.  Oh I definitely glance at my phone each morning and see the official countdown ticker dropping number by number...it's in the back of my mind at any given time.  But the good news is that this month is so busy for our family, it doesn't give us as much time to obsess about the time. Church is particularly active this month and we have several visits coming up with Holly.  We see her this week and then before Christmas we will see her again.  My nephew is flying in for about five days, we are planning our official baby shower, the list goes on.  It's really good to have so many other things to focus on.  I feel like before we know it..it will be the day.  The best day of our lives thus far.

If I could visit myself this time last year, I would so want to whisper into my ear..."Be patient.  In just over a year you will be parents!"  But the truth is, we weren't meant to know.  We had more growing to do as a couple and as adults.  I have learned things about myself this year. I've learned things about my husband.  One thing is for sure...I've fallen in love with him ten times over again.

We are so excited to see Holly this week.  We will create our official contact arrangement (not legally binding but still a guideline) and then in a few weeks take the official hospital tour.  It's all coming together beautifully.
