Our daughter is going to get born on Monday the 17th!!! Yes, that is just 5 days away. HOLY CRAP! We have a scheduled c-section for 1pm. It hasn't totally set in yet. It probably won't until I hold her for the first time. Yes, she definitely is a "her". I had some concern over whether the gender was identified correctly back in September, but it seems they were right on.
I am sure my experience is much like that of other soon-to-be parents. In some respects I feel like time has slowed these last couple months. It seemed like our little girl would never get here. I feel like we have been ready, totally prepared for the past 8 weeks... just playing the waiting game. Now it is crunch time and it seems like it has flown by. Am I really ready for this? Did I do everything I needed to do before she got her? It doesn't seem possible that this time next week she will be out here in the world, crying, pooping, and forcing responsibility upon me. I am so looking forward to seeing her for the first time. I can't wait!
We got a 3D shot of her face during the ultrasound and she gave us a little smile. Amazing!
