The past 4 days I have gotten to hold lots and lots of babies. Babies at work, friend's babies, babies at a party, babies, babies, babies. I'm not going to lie when I tell you that I am now just itching to hold the little guy that is taking up real estate in my tummy. All these little ones are just so snuggly and cute and fit so perfectly in my arms. They just look at you with those big eyes and smile and coo and are SO sweet.
Right now I can't decide if 7 1/2 weeks is too long or too short before his arrival time. Part of me wants it to be longer to get more done and to love on SYT just a bit longer before his world is changed and the other part of me is just crazy to get him out and have him with us in our family. I want him fully developed and big and healthy, so 7-8 weeks would be perfect. And I know that the time between now and then is just going to fly by.
It's funny, two weeks ago I had no thoughts whatsoever about holding him, loving him, newborns, burp clothes, sleepers, nothing. Now I'm like a crazy woman who cannot fathom life without this sweet boy that I haven't even met yet. Just less than two months and I'm going to be a mom of TWO! I just feel so blessed, blissful, and excited. My heart is filled with joyful expectation. Ahhhhh.............
Oh, and BTW, still no name.............

I can't even imagine what it's like waiting when you are the pregnant one! I am dying for my nephew to get here. My sister was due March 11 but still no baby!
