1. Someone sitting in the crook of my arm.
2. Knowing that I am #1, the most important thing in the universe to another person. My influence continues to spread. I really might take over the world someday.
3. One piece pajama/day wear outfits. Is it pajamas or is it a casual suit? You decide! There is no wrong answer and a baby looks good in one, day or night.
4. Little fists and feet.
5. Pushing a stroller. I really feel naked at the mall with out one. Seriously. I have to carry my soda cup in my purse because I have no integrated beverage holder!
6. Diaper bags. They really are handy to carry around. I put some of my own things in there.
7. Starting over with first everythings.
8. Teaching Geetle and Pookie how to be the big sister and big brother.
9. 6 weeks off of work, even if I am more busy with the baby than I was with work.
10. A pack n’ play in my home office, when I do go back to work.
11. Watching Geetle and Pookie get used to and welcome our new addition.
12. Watching BAGD do the super-dad thing. He is really good at it.
13. Doing the “Mommy Sway.” You know it. That side to side motion we all instinctively make when we hold a baby.
14. Revealing the name we have chosen….assuming we decide on one before then.
15. Rediscovering all the clothes on the “other side” of my closet. I had bought some nice things for our cruise in January. Wore them once, then got pregnant by early Feb. They had better all fit next spring.
16. Our baby.

How very exciting. Congratsulations!
My favorite things about babies are their sweet little toes and feet, and the very first time they smile up at you. It’s as if the world stops for that precious moment in time.

How exciting! I’m also looking forward to the arrival of my little girl; she is our first child, so there will be lots of “firsts” for us. Congratulations!
