Just as I thought it would, time is flying...and dragging at the same time if that makes any sense at all. As of tomorrow we will be in single digit weeks until the girls are born. 9 more weeks!!!!! Oh my gosh I can't even explain how excited I am and how in love I am with these two little girls.
We have been very busy trying to get the house put together, but right now, it is a little stressful looking at the condition of the house right now. Especially for poor Pace. I know that if I am starting to get irritated with the clutter and the mess, he has to be crawling out of his skin! I know it will all come together again, the new carpet in the living room goes in on Wednesday so we will at least be able to put our living room furniture back. I am going to try to finish up my sewing projects this weekend so I can put my sewing mess away as well LOL.
I finally finished the first crib skirt and although it is a little shorter than I imagined, it will look super cute when the girls are a little bigger and the mattress can be lowered.
The baby shower invites have all been sent out and this is all getting so much more real! I get a lump in my throat thinking about it, but my aunt, my cousin and my mother are all coming out here for our shower. I am so beyond excited for Eliza to be able to meet my family and I know that there are going to be lots and lots of tears. Tears of love, joy and gratitude. It is going to be such a beautiful day surrounded by beautiful people!
I hope that Eliza feels at home and part of the family. We have a very large family and network of friends - I hope it isn't too overwhelming for her!
This last weekend Pace and I went to see his best childhood friend in California. What a wonderful trip it was! Kind of a last little hurrah before the girls get here - we have one more trip planned at the end of Oct, and then that will be it until the girls are born. Yesterday morning Pace and I were sitting at the beach talking and discussing our future and how our lives are about to completely change. Our next trip to the beach will be with little girls in tow, playing in the sand, and splashing around. Oh how I can't wait!
I truly don't think we will realize how empty our hearts are until the girls are here and our hearts are overflowing full.
