Taking off the tags....

So glad that you guys got to "meet" Baby Fab! My heart just melts every time I look at her ultrasound pictures. J told me Sat morning that she is all that he is able to think about since we had our peek. We looked at them again and I caught him wiping away some tears.

Today starts week 35. Dr appt's are weekly now and he said that eveything looks great and the ultrasound last week went very well. (BTW... J did not go to the last appt with me and he commented today that my Dr still seems very sad having lost his brother. It just breaks my heart.)

I have no idea where the time has gone. Seems like yesterday (Feb 2) that we found out I was pregnant. We have almost everything done now.... the last big things to do were to have my rocking chair cushions re-upholstered (at the shop being covered as we speak) and J is putting up a shelf the length of the main wall in her bedroom this weekend for her many picture frames and misc things that I want in her room.

Today, I will start taking off the tags for her clothes and making sure they are washed and put away ready for her to wear them. I can already tell you I will cry. It's just so real now. I had felt that if I take off tags, something may happen and I haven't wanted to take that step. I know something can still happen, but I have all but put those thoughts out of my head and looking forward to holding my little girl.

Not sure if you guys read the last comment left by Efen on this blog entry, but his comment was "Glad you're feeling better...ya know, you didn't ask one question..and that would be 'What if everything just goes perfectly?"

After I read that....I was done with the negative thinking. I have left it in God's hands and trust that she will be here soon and she will be perfect. Perfect for her daddy and I to love no matter what.

Taking those tags off is SO hard. I know exactly how you feel. I don't think we had the crib up for either child until they were already home (both of mine co-slept with me).

I didn't read that comment from Efen bit it was perfect! I am so glad you are thinking positively and I cannot wait until you get to bring her home. I bet her room is perfect! ;)

Your new header is pretty!

Everything is going to be just fine Momma! The worst thing you can do is worry about it.

I am pretty sure I didn't prewash a thing Lady H wore. I know I was supposed to but I guess I just never got around to it.

I cried too, during my nesting, even with a 3rd pregnancy!

So happy for ya!

Momma: It's getting closer and I'm getting more excited by the second.

ETW: It is soooo hard. I did it though! It got easier once I started taking them off and realizing that she would be here soon.

Dish: Efen put it all into perspective for me and took a load off my shoulders. God love him!

Vinomom: Thanks! I had fun doing the header. I have a bad case of OCD!

Gigi: I cry at everytthing now!

Love the new look of the page.

Can't wait for you to meet her.

She will be perfect. I think it is natural to start panicking the last few weeks about what ifs...

I remember when I had to be induced with the Princess (wow, has it been ten years...geez) because there was too much fluid. I made the mistake of asking a nurse what would cause that. The dummy mentioned several things and threw down syndrome in there for good measure. I cried for three hours straight convinced that my baby was going to have a hard life. Finally, the doctor called me and said "Chris, did we have all the test..yes?..well lets just relax and have a healthy baby. Oh and let me talk to that nurse" That was the last time she was in my room lol.

Everything will be perfect, except for only being allowed to eat ice chips. Get your tissues ready because the first time you see her, your gonna need them because your heart is going to burst with joy and your eyes are going to leak.
