Anxious!

Today I'm feeling very anxious to meet my daughter! It feels so hard to wait to see what she will look like. I had a dream the other night that she had dark hair. I am very curious to see what her hair color will be and hold her in my arms and meet her for the first time! Don't get me wrong, I don't want her to come this early, I just suddenly feel like everything is going so slooow. For most of the pregnancy it has felt like it was flying by, but the last week or so feels slow. I'm sure once December hits it will go quickly again because we will have a lot going on. It's hard to explain the feelings that come with expecting. I'm anxious (good anxious) and excited and ready for her to be here, but then I think about all the things I want to get done before her arrival. Mainly, the nursery, but I also want to clean out my house (mostly our office which is a perpetual work in progress) and get rid of things we don't need. But, then I realize if those things don't get done before Mira arrives, it won't be a big deal. So, I'm at peace with my non-organized house, okay maybe not "at peace" but tolerable because I'm really excited to meet Mira and hold her in my arms. I feel her moving around all the time and often jump when she pushes on my right side because she has something pokey like an elbow that keeps poking out and sometimes it hurts! A lot of pregnant women really can't wait to get their pre-pregnancy body back. I look forward to that happening, but mostly I just want to love on my daughter and put smooches all over her sweet face!!

One of the supervisors at work is due two days after me, so there is a bet going around to see who will deliver first. Anyone can pay a dollar and guess who will deliver first and what date and time. It will be interesting to see the guesses. One of my co-workers said she thinks I'll go first. I told her I better since I'm due two days sooner! Two days doesn't seem like a lot, but I definitely don't want to go past my due date!
