This is what the last day of pregnancy looks like.
not much looks cute at this point.
but we are anxiously counting down the hours
until we meet our sweet boy.
boy oh boy.
i'm almost speechless.
It is the weirdest feeling to count down to a birth
knowing exactly what day another person will arrive here on this earth
it is surreal.
I'm giddy, anxious, nervous, happy but mostly
melancholy.
As I sit here and type my little Genevieve is scooting around the kitchen
in my slippers, blowing raspberries and humming.
I can't help but feel a bit emotional knowing that today
is the very last day that she will be my only baby.
It is one of the most joyous occasions to give her a brother
but at the same time I'm a bit heart broken.
A life that I have come to know so well,
a family of three
is about to change drastically in just hours.
I sit here and hope...
I hope that I will be able to give each of my children the attention they deserve
I hope I can make them feel as special as they are
I hope they will feel loved and cherished every day
I hope I will have the patience to teach them, laugh at the mishaps and shrug off the struggles
today I'm full of hope.
I hope tomorrow goes well.

Au contraire! You look adorable and beautiful. And on a separate note, I love your bathroom rug. I can't believe your little boy is arriving tomorrow! Very exciting! But I understand your feeling anxious about the big change, I've felt the same apprehension. I'm excited for our second to arrive, but as it's gotten closer I've started to feel sad that it will never again be just me and my little Ryder buddy. I think you've got the right attitude though and I'm encouraged by your hopefulness. It's also nice to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way :). Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to see pictures. xoxo!
I keep checking and checking facebook and now this to see if he's arrived yet. I'm so excited for you! Hope all is going well my friend.
