WOW, I need to catch up!

I haven't posted here in a loooong time! Our household has been plagued by one illness after another for so long that I've been completely overwhelmed.

I'm praying that things are going to settle back in to some semblance of normalcy soon.

Anyhow, I went for an elective 3D/4D ultrasound a week ago & WOW!!! It was so amazing!!! I was able to see Emily nonstop for about 25 minutes and what a precious gift that was! She was sleeping - or trying to - most of the time. She kept putting her hands and arms over her face as if to say, "HEY! Can't a girl get some sleep around here???"

She already seems to have Ally's features, from what I can tell. Her cheeks are a little round and she's got my side of the family's round nose. It was such a treat!

They made a DVD out of the session, and I played it when I got home. Ally kept asking to watch the "Baby Emily Show"!! LOL!!

I've been making a lot of progress on her room. I was lucky and didn't have to paint the room a different color than it already was, because it matched the bedding really well - WOO HOO! I'll post pics of the nursery at a later date.

Tonight, when I (literally) had 3 minutes to myself, I went in to her room, shut the door and just stood there imagining what it will be like to have a new baby again. I'm feeling pretty blissed-out thinking about it at the moment! I know the reality of it all is H-A-R-D and treacherous at times. But the bottom line is that this is what we've wanted. This is our final child, that we've been SO incredibly blessed with. And I can't wait to hold my precious baby in my arms.
