{day one}

Just looking back at some of the photos from Olivia's birth. I cannot believe how much she has grown and changed in just four short months.

Here was our first little peek at sister.







It looks like Nick has some photo skills himself. LOVE these!

and one of the sweetie peetie

I found this onesie at Old Navy yesterday for $2.99! Love that!

{38 wks, 3 days} Still pregnant. I woke up at 2am last night and couldn't fall back to sleep. I got this sudden idea in my head that I needed an emergency hair cut and highlight. It seemed, last night, that this was the answer to all of my problems. That all I had to do was call Toni & Guy, magically book an appointment for the day of, and I would feel refreshed, re-energized, and re-centered. And, not until this was accomplished, would I be able to face another week of not going into labor.

So, mission accomplished. My hair looks pretty nice (I must say so myself) and I do feel better. The problem is, I am still pregnant, still tired, still grumpy, and still pregnant. At least my hair looks good while I lay lifelessly on the couch. Speaking of...back to the couch.

I was thinking that if you decided that you may possibly like to come out sometime soon to meet us, that tomorrow would be a great time. Let's face it. We are both tired. You are surely getting pretty squished up in there. And, 38 weeks gestation is a fine time to leave the womb. Plus, your room is all ready for you and your clothes have been washed and folded and packed for the hospital. I even have matching bows for each of your onesies I am bringing. So, please do not worry about what you are going to wear.

Oh, and it's also Friday tomorrow, so that would work out nicely with our weekend plans.

So, I'm just sayin'...that would be nice.

Love,
Mom
