Hi,
I just found your site and want to tell you that although I have done this twice, the wait time is the hardest & most stressful part. Besides keeping busy, my advice would be to do EVERYTHING that you truly enjoy (ie; go to the movies, plays, romantic weekend getaways, get your hair & nails done) because once you become a Mommy, you get very little or no time for these things. Think of it as “pamper the expecting parent” time. It feels good, relaxes you & makes the time go faster. ALSO, eat as many hot, delicious meals as you can because with a baby in tow, you food is usually cold by the time you get to it. I REALLY enjoy a hot meal these days!!! I love my girls! They are the best gifts I have ever received. I wish you all the best. Check out my website to see a pic of us if you like.
