Three month "waitaversary"

WOW!  Three months have come and gone.  I can't believe it!  The last couple weeks have dragged, but then again, it's been winter and don't the winter months always drag?  As I've said before, the wait is getting harder and harder, but we're hanging in there.  We have successfully survived three months!  That sounded like a lifetime at one point.  I'm hoping the next couple months will feel a little bit easier.  We've got some busy weekends ahead, and with the weather being nicer, we're sure to be out and about more.  Ruby and I are walking a lot... trying to get in shape for a 5K that Brian and I are doing in May.  We're so not good at staying in a good exercise routine, but we're getting there.  We've been a bit more dedicated lately, and maybe this 5K will be just the beginning.  I keep telling myself that I need to be healthier as I start out my life as a parent, thinking that will motivate me a little bit more.  Ha.  It's really not doing the trick.  We're continuing to prepare as best we can for when the call comes.  We tried the car seat out in the car a couple weeks ago, to make sure we knew how to install it.  The instruction book makes it seem like you need a PhD to install a car seat!  Got it in ok, but then I realized that we needed that PhD to get the base of the seat OUT of the car.  In fact, after sitting there in the car for those weeks, I finally called Kelly to ask her how to un-install the base.  Thank you, Kelly.  Ruby's got her space back.  The nursery furniture should be coming soon.  I don't know if I've mentioned this here or not... but since we got to the waiting point, I've had a gut feeling that it was going to be a 4 month wait.  I don't know why.  Wishful thinking?  Mother's intutition?  But, 4 months has felt like what this wait will be.  As of today, we're officially entering into the 4th month.  Last night, I was falling asleep on the couch and I suddenly felt a strong urge to update some info I've written up for whoever might be fortunate (?) enough to end up with Ruby for a couple days while we go off and become parents.  Now that we know how to install and uninstall a car seat, and we've got Puppysitter instructions prepared, I'm sure that call is going to come.  And, what better day to get it than on our 3rd month waitaversary, St. Patrick's Day?  We're not Irish, but maybe we'll get a little Irish luck today.
