So, I know that I have had this information for some time now.  YOU have had this information for some time now.  However, between anxiety over another abruption, early labor, BEDREST, etc I don't think that I thought about HER a lot until yesterday morning. I woke up early yesterday, the morning of my baby shower, and I just thought, "There is going to be another sweet, baby girl herein 5 1/2 weeks!!"  I began to sob and I continued sobbing through the shower and through the girls b-day party in the afternoon.  They were extremely good tears. I was just so happy and joyful about wondering what she would look like and what personality she wold be.  Will she be a fat, chubby little baby like two of my girls or will she be long and lean like my oldest and my son?  Will she have the curly hair that dawns the heads of all but one of my children or will she have my board-straight hair?  Will she cry a lot or will she sleep through the night early.  It is amazing that, even after four babies and KNOWING that I will be exhausted and tired those first several weeks, I can't help but be excited about the buzz that surrounds a new baby coming home.

So now the preparations REALLY begin.  I have been baking for a week. Today, I am starting to direct the organization of the house again.  We got the cradle up from GA this weekend, so I am really ready to get everything settled just so. Ya know? This is going to be hard to do from the bed : ) While the kids and Nathan are at church this morning, I will come up with a plan.
