Twas the Night Before Baby

Today was one of those days I'll remember forever. I kept saying "this is so surreal" over and over again. And it is surreal. There's no other way to describe it. It's so strange to anticipate a life changing event as big as this. How do you pass the time? What else can you possibly talk about? It's all consuming. 

Much to my surprise, the day has actually flown by. It started off with mani/pedi's with my best friend followed by a little Starbucks for the soul. The afternoon was spent with the beyond excited dad-to-be getting our nest perfectly prepared and our bags packed and ready to go. We ended the day with a quiet night out, enjoying one last date as a family of two. And what comes next? Well that's the surreal part. What comes next is baby. 

Sweet Baby Boy,

We cannot wait to meet you tomorrow. These last nine ten months have been some of the best in my life. While I have so enjoyed getting to know you and feel you grow, I can't wait to see your little face, hear your cry, and watch your dad light up as he gets his turn to hold and carry you after waiting so patiently for so many months. Know that there are so many people who have been praying for you and are so excited to meet you and watch you grow. You are one lucky kid.

Here's one last photo of your terrified excitedly nervous parents on the night before your birthday!! 

You are so incredibly loved!
