Today was quiet.
The holidays are over, decorations down, and guests gone.
It's baby time.
I pulled all of her clothes that I have been saving in a basket in
her room, washed them all, and this evening,
while it lightly snowed outside, and in the glow of the fireplace,
I folded them all.
Little onesies, shirts, and gowns.
Sheets, blankets, and towels.
I cried while I did it, too.
I am in awe.
In awe of this little miracle girl coming our way.
In awe that she is going to be mine, and I get to raise her.
In awe that my body has carried her to term, and will push her out
into a world and into the hands
of so many people who already love her more than words.
I'm so excited. I'm so ready!
