I am thrilled that he stayed put and will be a healthy baby boy upon his arrival rather than the possibilities of a baby born to soon and weeks in the NICU and all the nightmares that come with that. But now it is perfectly safe for him to come out! And I am ready! I have cleaned and recleaned and cleaned again. The bags are packed, beds are put up, clothes, and blankets and burps cloths all washed, folded and put away. Everything is on order. All we need is a baby boy...so where is he??
I'm ready for one of these moments...
Or one of these...
I'm ready to hold, and cuddle my squirmy little squishy boy for the first time, and to introduce him to his brother and sisters and all the other family anxiously awaiting his arrival.
I'm ready to bring him home and be up every 2 hours feeding him and loving him and to incorporate this new person into our family and watch how we all change and grow...I'm ready...
Come out, come out, baby boy! I'm getting soooo excited for you. Hope you're hanging in there! And just for comparison... I am NOT ready for a newborn again. Oy, I'm glad I have a few more months! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Beth, i am just so ready for the next phase! I feel completely in limbo right now, can't even make plans for tomorrow much less next week with out having to say 'unless of course i'm having a baby'...it's definitely easier to take care of him right now, but there's none of the glory, no seeing his sweet face and comparing him to the others to see who he looks like, no kissing him and smelling his sweet head and nursing him and on and on...the only down side is the exhaustion, and that will eventually pass! LOL, I think I could have made this another whole blog segment!
ReplyDeleteI hope he vacates soon! I am ready to see his little face!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling, I was overdue with Keely and just wanted her OUT!! LOL
