i'm ready

August 28, 2006

i'm not sure if it's hormones, or a change in the wind, or just the natural course of this "condition" i'm in (i'm sick of the p word), but i woke up today in the greatest mood. even the doggies seem to be smiling today. and it's not even 10 o'clock.

yesterday was our austin babyshower. all of our nearest and dearest friends came over and brought food and drink and gifts and i soaked up every minute of it. i feel like i wore a silly grin from ear to ear the whole time. the last time there were that many people at our house was our shotgun wedding, which i barely remember because i was such a basket case at the time. so this was like a perfect do-over.

despite a nasty case of heartburn and a nagging backache, i think i managed to make it all day long without complaints because i was so distracted by the activities and the company. it really was fantastic. i wouldn't give up the friends we have and the community we live in for all the money in the world. these babies are lucky to have such a wonderful extended family. and now that i have all the necessary accoutrements, i say BRING IT ON! i want to meet my babies already.
