31.9 Weeks

It is so hard to stay motivated to work. I constantly think about the baby, what she will look like, how she will act. How will it be to hold her in my arms for the first time? Will I cry or just smile a lot? What will our first few days at home be like? I'm actually looking forward to breast feeding for the first time - I just cannot imagine what it will feel like to provide nutrients through my own body to this little human being I've created! I mean, I know I'm doing that now, but it's involuntary. So many interesting and cool things to look forward to! I'm really excited to use all the fun stuff I got during the baby shower as well. Her first bedtime story, her first bath, her first dirty diaper...I keep thinking about all the fun stuff we're going to do together during the summer. Meet Daddy for the afternoon to show off his beautiful baby girl to his clients. Our subdivision has an infant pool, so we absolutely have to hang out there to meet the other mommies and babies. My neighbors will no doubt be playing in the afternoons, so we'll have to hang out in the cul-de-sac as well. Grandma will want to help take Ginger to the park, so we'll all get some exercise and fresh air. I know it sounds like a fairy tale right now, and with the lack of sleep I'm going to suffer we might never do some of these things until she's 6 months old, but it's fun to daydream! :)
