Yes, I’ve waited until the one hand to begin this countdown. It’s actually hard to believe. Who knew this last part would go so quickly? Our vacation was key to this, and since we started school on Monday, it’s moving even quicker. I’m actually starting to get a bit nervous. Okay–more than a bit.
Confession: I have not begun packing. I am still taking donations. I have zero idea of the weight so far. Is this bad? It can’t be good.
Strange as it sounds, I’ve been a teensy bit pre-nostalgic about the end of the era of just Lindsay and Shannon. As much as I CAN’T WAIT for this beauty to be in my arms, nothing will ever be the same. But–it will be better.
Speaking of everything changing, this is what everyone in the world wants to tell us! “Oh, get ready” THEY tell us. “Just wait.” What do they think we’ve been doing for over a YEAR!! Lots and lots of that. But it’s ALMOST OVER.
This is what she drinks! And that's part of her face! We're coming pretty girl!
Oh my goodness..her beautiful brown eyes look just like yours!! And..you can tell she is darling!!! And…it’s normal to realize that the “carefree” days of just being a couple are over. And, you are also right…in no time you will realize how much better this new normal is!
Then, when you’re old like me…you get to be a couple again and it’s another really nice new normal! Praying for you and Shannon and that precious little girl.. cannot wait for full pictures soon!!
Wow, it is already here! We didn’t really pack until the week before either and were fine.
I know what you mean about the change coming. It is amazing and exciting but is a change and a transition to a new life. Congratulations!
So excited. I hated hearing about how everything would change, but I didn’t understand it until it happened. I remember reading once Brad Pitt saying that he was tired of living for just himself and having his daughter made him realize that his life is no longer about him, and he welcomed that change.
I found the shift harder than I imagined, but also more rewarding. Elios has brought out the absolute best in me and Diego, sides I didn’t even know we had. He has been more of a gift to us in that way than he’ll ever know.
But, yeah, the lack of sleep is sooooooooooooooo missed.
