Nesting....

I've officially hit the "nesting" phase of this pregnancy. Hallelujah. My house was a disaster. Now it smells swiffer clean. Yesterday I went through all my baby clothes, set up the bassinet, and washed everything small and pink I could find. I even went to the store and bought one package of the teensy-eansy diapers. As I lay in bed last night I could hardly contain my excitement. Of course I'm excited not to be co-habitating with this little girl any longer, but it's turned into more than that. I'm really anticipating holding her sweet little body in my arms. I can't barely stand not knowing what she looks like yet. I'm so excited to be able to roll over in my bed facing the bassinet and listening to the little sounds she will make. I feel so grateful for "surprises". I would never have thought twice about not having another baby had this not occurred. But, I'm already wondering how in the world I considered not adding another little person to our household. No, this doesn't mean we will continue to add more, in case anyone gathered that from my post. I'm just really grateful that I get one more babe to enjoy before they all grow up and leave my house to explore their own lives. I can't think of anything sweeter than the smell of a freshly bathed newborn swaddled up tight in a blanket laying in my arms. Less than a week to go......
