Mara Alexandra Jade

2 weeks.

Crazy isn't it?

And yes, what many other moms say is true...I feel I've been pregnant FOREVER. But I'm not quite ready for her to come. Well, I am, but yet I'm not. Let me explain...

Yay Mara is coming!
Adorable outfits to dress her in--pinks and purples!
Hair accessories!
My dolls and girly things coming out of storage!
A tiny little girl with 10 fingers and 10 toes!
No more swollen fingers and ankles!
New clothes for me (yay shopping!) and "new" clothes I haven't worn in (by the time I wear them again) nearly a year!
Moving from place to place, driving, getting in and out of the car...More or less ache free.
No more appendages in my rib cage!
Shaving in the shower no longer a blind balancing act.
Wearing my boots again--no more sneakers!
All we have to do is move the bassinet over to our room and get some tiny diapers, and we're ready.

(Jeremy adds that HE will get to hold her too.)

Did I mention the clothes and hair accessories?!

Oh my goodness, Mara is coming!
The nursery isn't ready...We're waiting for the conversion kit for Aedan's crib so we can move that one over to his room, making it his toddler bed, so we can set up the new crib in the nursery.
I have 2 more weeks of decent sleep. I will probably not get decent sleep again for the majority of 2013.
I'll miss feeling her kick and squirm. :(
Lugging around that infant seat again... :P

Praying for the energy to be Aedan AND Mara's mama...and that Aedan will adjust well to not being Numero Uno anymore...

2 more weeks.

Thank You God for this precious, darling baby girl. I adore her already. <3 Be my strength, my comfort, and my peace. Amen.
