36 down, 4 to go!

A BIG thank you to everyone who made our baby showers so special! We were lucky enough to have three celebrations with our family and friends. Everyone who threw them made it so special, and everyone who attended made us feel surrounded by love. We hardly had to buy a thing when it was all said and done, and for that, we feel so blessed. Here are a few of those fabulous ladies who made is so fab!

I am finding it hard to believe that in less than 4 weeks (hopefully!), we will be holding, snuggling, and loving on our Little Leah. The journey to parenthood has been a long and trying one for us, but looking back, it was worth every moment of heartache, every doctor's appointment, and every day we felt like having a child was unattainable. Here we are about to welcome this little miracle into our family, and we could not be more thankful. I pray every day that I never, ever forget how very lucky we are.

I am in full blown nesting mode. For those of you who know me well, you know organizing is NOT my strong point. Well, let me tell you, it is now! The house, and her room, are really coming together. Getting ready to be parents has been such a chaotic great time. I find myself more thankful than ever to share a life with my Paul, the most patient, thoughtful, loving human being I have ever met. How he puts up with me lately is a mystery, and I can't imagine anyone taking better care of me day in and day out. If he is half as wonderful to our daughter as he is to his large, clutsy, annoying pregnant wife, she is going to be one spoiled girl!

Happy the New Year is here!

Welcome to our blog! I am hoping this will be a way for family and friends, especially those from far away, to stay updated as we prepare for the arrival of our little bundle of joy in just 8 weeks. We are getting more and more excited to meet her as the days go on, and are looking so forward to being a family of three! We have been married for alomst six years now, and although we could not adore one another any more, we are really looking forward to having another person to share our home and love with.

Her room is coming along! Soon her Auntie Natalie is going to come and paint some canvases for the wall, and we will be pretty set for her arrival. Here I am on NYE (32 weeks), ready to head out for our last New Year's celebration before parenthood. Bring it on!

This has been such an exciting time for us so far, and we can't wait to meet our little girl. I guess it really is true- good things come to those who wait. Thanks for sharing this journey with us!
