it's only taken me a month to post again

Had our "38 week" appointment today... no change from last week.

We're ready for her to be here. We've got everything we need for her. The list of wants is minimal, mostly books and a few toys she wouldn't be able to use until she was older anyway. Her room is basically done, only a few things left to put away. Now we just need her.

I'm getting antsy. I want to see her. I want to see how Nick & Coop react when she cries. I want to know if she's going to be the kind of baby that cries constantly and has colic or if she's the baby that barely makes a sound and only slightly whimpers when she really needs attention. I want to know what color eyes she has. I've been thinking she'll have "light" eyes (maybe hazel) for as long as I can remember, and now I'm itching to know if she really does.


I even put up Christmas decorations today since it'll be easier to get them up before she arrives. The tree is NOT up. It WILL NOT be up until the middle of the month. Cooper did so well with the tree last year, I hope he does again this year. The poor dog, we even wrapped treats and toys to try and make him find his presents... we failed. He barely nudged his gifts and just waited until we opened them for him. I really hope I can get a good picture of Cooper & Jordy under the tree. Just another to add to the list of "must take" pictures. The poor kid doesn't know what she's in for, to bad Cooper won't be able to warn her!
