I have Wednesdays off of work. I used to use Wednesday to "catch up", on sleep, doctor's appointments, and house cleaning. Now, I am all about getting ready for our baby to be here. I'm nesting. I'll bet this is what pregnant women do a couple weeks before they're supposed to have the baby. I spent today arranging the baby's room, finding space for things, reading about how to make home-made baby food, deciding what Gabriella's coming home outfit will be, getting all medications and house cleaning products out of reach for a baby, etc, etc . . . I am slowly coming around to the reality that our lives are never ever going to be the same. Yeah, people have said it from day 1 of the adoption process, but it's just now really starting to sink in! Things seem so peaceful here. The dogs are splayed out on the floor, things are quiet. I am going to try to savor these last few weeks of peace and quiet and being able to lay on the couch for 3 hours if I want to. I am so happy and feel so blessed for this baby coming into our lives, but I have a feeling I should rest up now.
This picture is one of Dave's favorites. She seems to be saying, "get that camera out of my face and leave me alone!"
