One Week & Two Days Away

I still can't believe it. Your arrival is so near!

The nursery is long done, the pack n' play is installed, and the car seat is already in the car. We're ready for you lil' one!! Come on out anytime. I'm still nervous about the actual delivery. I mean, let's face it, the idea of getting a watermelon to fit through a pencil is pretty scary isn't it? But, every other Mother has made it through, and this lil' mother has God watching over us. We'll be okay, you and me!!

Your Dad is just amazing. Yesterday he took me to the park, and we took the girls with us. Cookie & Cocoa loved it. Your dad and I played on the swings while the girls ran & played (the most exercise they've had in a long time). Your dad couldn't resist testing out the slides with the girls. First up was Cookie, down the big tubular slide that makes several loops. Now, I resisted this, but your Dad insisted, so I stood at the bottom ready to catch her. Wow, she must have gained wings, because her little 15 pound body flew down that slide so fast, and landed right into my arms. The poor thing. I felt so bad for her, but, I think she got over it a few minutes later and we did have a little chuckle over it. Next down, was your dad, who didn't have wings. He actually had to shift himself around a few times, to get his body down the slide. Now, that was pretty humorous. Cocoa took her turn, but on a much smaller, and straight slide. Unfortunately, I don't think she liked it much no matter the size.
We walked by the water and watched people playing discgolf, a new fandangled sport using a frisbee. It was so nice to just walk hand in hand talking and enjoying nature. It won't be long before we're taking you there, to play on the swings and go down the slides. :) Oh what good times we have to look forward to.
Your Daddy and I have already discussed when to take you on your first trip to the Magic Kingdom. Oh, you will love it. I'm so excited to see your face the first time you walk down Main Street USA and the first time you get to see your favorite Disney Character. :) I was always a huge Winnie the Pooh Fan, but I wonder who your favorites will be.

Well Lily, we're ready. If you decide to wait as long as possible, then at the very latest, I look forward to meeting you next Thursday. :) I'll be the one crying with joy.

I love you.
