New Year...New Life... New Baby!

It is amazing how FAST life tends to move, sway, and SPRINT!  It seems just like yesterday that we found out that we were expecting a new little one to our family of 2... or 2.5 if you include Maggie the wonder puggle.  It has now been 10 months.. and we are ready for the new chapter in our life to begin!  Baby is due tomorrow, January 14th!  So, as you can imagine, I am trying EVERYTHING to get her to make her debut!  But, on the other hand.. I am also taking in every moment of sleep, special one-on-one time with my amazing family and friends, and treating myself to a lunch date here and there.... all this has been strongly recommended by my sister and mommy friends.
We are VERY ready for Baby Girl to show up... room put together to my anal retentive standard, clothes washed and hung, books placed on the shelves ready to be read, and everything in its proper placement.  O.K.... I KNOW what you are thinking, "this perfect nursery will NEVER last, and don't get use to things being organized, clean, or in it's place."
I know, I know.... but let me have my moment of being a new, naive mommy. 
HOW did we get this room ready... My dear husband dealt with weeks,  maybe months, of me in my PANIC nesting mode.  He practiced pure patience and "made it all happen."
I love him for his hard work and holding back the urge to want to stranggle me on a daily basis.  He has been the BEST husband, soon-to-be father, and friend a VERY pregnant girl could ask for.
So...now we wait!
Room ready, bags packed, and  we are ready to begin our new lives playing the role as "mommy and daddy".

    EM I LOVE THIS! This is wonderfully written, so cute and sincere. Keep it up! Seriously though. If you get enough followers and establish yourself in the highly saturated "Mommy Blogosphere" you will get sent free products to test out and write about with your mommy expertise! haha. I know that's not your goal, but thought I'd clue you in :)

    Oh Emily...I am soooo excited for you! I can remember like it was yesterday waiting (patiently...well, not so patiently as she was 3 weeks late...hahaha...I can laugh now) for domenica to be born! Now, she will be turning 6 in a few weeks! Cherish every moment...take it all in...weite it all down...and take lots of pictures! I love you my special friend! You are ALL I my prayers and I hope to hear news SOON!

    Ps...take a nap!

    Love you!
