Getting anxious!

It is January and I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a sweet baby girl named Emma.  It's so hard to believe that almost ten months ago we were blessed by the grace of the Lord with this pregnancy.  I am still in amazement of how God is all-knowing.  After five years of marriage and some pretty rocky times through our relationship we were finally able to truly find each other and connect on the deepest level possible and through that we were blessed with a growing baby in my belly.  It's so exciting to see how anxious even Dustin is.  He's been excited but quiet through this whole pregnancy but here towards the end he's almost giddy.  He asks me everyday is she's coming and my same answer is "in her own time".  I think he's as "ready" as I am.  We have been trying our best to keep busy until the big day.  We aren't home much because we can't stand just sitting here waiting and wishing she was home already.  We have been spending a lot of time at my parents house, playing games, dinner, visiting with family, staying up late, sleeping late and cuddling.  We know that all those things will be a distant memory for quite a while once she arrives.  Everything has been marked off our TO DO LIST.  We met with a pediatrician today and just loved him.  We are so thankful that we found somebody that we like.  I bought a bookshelf today for the nursery (the last item for her room!).  Now we just need to assemble it and put all her books, picture frames and toys on it.  I finished packing the hospital bag this afternoon.  I can't wait to be putting the bag, diaper bag and pillow in the car and head to the hospital! I also bought my breast pump.  I set it all up and I really like it.  Seems comfortable and easy to use.  I went with the Avent Breast Pump.  We are using Avent bottles so this just seemed like the perfect fit.  Has anyone used this pump before and do you have any good or bad comments about it?

I have truly enjoyed this pregnancy even though it is an absolute emotional roller coaster.  I've been blessed with a healthy pregnancy and I am praying for a healthy baby to arrive.  I will probably post once more before Emma arrives.  Tomorrow we have a doctor's appointment where hopefully we will get lots of information on potential induction, progress in dilation (crossing my fingers!) and he's also supposed to strip my membranes to get things a moving.  Who knows, after that maybe I will just go on into labor! I can only hope right? After that post, I may be MIA for a while until I can get home with baby and get settled.  I just can't believe we are at the end....or should I say the beginning now.  The beginning of a new life as a family of three! Soon soon soon! :)
