Anxious!

Well, I had a fabulous 25th birthday yesterday. My husband and family are incredible!

On an anxious note, I am so ready to meet this little guy! I will be 34 weeks on Saturday, and I can't believe I am already to that mark. In about 6 weeks depending on whether he's an early-comer, perfectly punctual, or just plain stubborn - we are going to have a baby. Wow. I am definitely getting anxious - in a curious kind of way. Not too nervous, and not worrisome, just curious. I'm curious what he will look like. And who he will look like. Nathan's baby pictures are just beautiful, and just maybe he'll have that cute red-auburn hair that Nathan had when he was little. Just maybe he will be calm and patient and sweet and strong like his daddy. I just have so many things I'm wondering about. I hope he is healthy (which all things point that he is). I hope he loves us the way we love our parents. I hope one day we will be able to see him be baptized when he chooses for himself to follow Christ. I am excited for him that he is going to have such incredible family surrounding him. He is going to have amazing grandparents, amazing great grandparents, and even an amazing great-great grandmother. He is going to have amazing and fun aunts and uncles. I'm excited about the things that they are going to teach him about life that Nathan and I can't. I'm excited for the first time he rides a bike with my dad and for the first time he goes fishing with Nathan's dad. I'm excited about the first time he sits on the counter with our moms and makes some cookies. I'm excited to see the look on our parents' faces when they meet him for the first time. And I absolutely can't wait to look at Nathan the first time we're holding our baby boy - and I hope I have a million pictures. I'm excited for the sense of accomplishment he will fill as he learns to do things.

I have all these hopes and dreams for this little guy I haven't even met yet, and curious, hopeful, anxious, excited is exactly what I am.
