So, we’re still anxiously waiting for Baby to arrive. It’s killing us! We’re filled with thoughts of M. and how she
must be doing right now, along with crazy thoughts about how our lives are
about to change, if this happens. Our
minds are mush, our thoughts so jumbled.
It’s the strangest feeling of anxiety, nervousness, and excitement. We had a family filled weekend, and man, was
it hard to keep this secret! It was
torture! Mom and Dad know, only because
we needed to make arrangements for Ruby and they happen to be coming to the area
this weekend, so we had to casually tell them and ask them to take Ruby back to
NY with them. I know that they’re really
excited, but they did an awesome job of playing it cool and not letting on that
something major is about to happen. It
felt good to have them with us for a few days before the weekend, so that we
could talk about it. Balancing how much
to tell them with what to keep to ourselves for now was a bit tough, but
overall, it was a relief to have them here and be able to talk when we wanted
to. Thank God for a weekend where the
focus was someone else. It was Stacey’s
weekend. Julie came up from NC for her,
mom and dad came for her, and I was here for her. We went wedding dress shopping and
bridal/mother of the bride dress shopping.
It’s such an exciting time for Stacey, and as much as I want that baby
to get here, I wanted this weekend with my family and I wanted it to be perfect
for Stacey. It was. We didn’t have to steal her thunder, though I
know that everyone would have been super thrilled and so excited it wouldn’t
have mattered. I didn’t want to miss out
on that opportunity to be with her when she found her wedding dress, though… so
as much longing as I have right now, I think that Baby did us a favor by
waiting a couple extra days. Now, Ruby’s
well cared for, Julie’s on her way home, Mom and Dad are almost home, and we’re
just here with an empty nest, wanting to fill it up. Now’s the time, Baby… you’re welcome to come
now. We’re here, arms wide open, hearts
so full and everything’s really ok.
