Gracie girl, look at those big beautiful LIPS!  (I think your real mother must be Angelina Jolie!)  Despite the mildly scary nature of 3D ultrasounds, you are so so so beautiful.   And they say you already have hair.  Lots of it.  Who knows what color with our family gene blends, but oh I’m so excited to find out soon.  And to think we get to meet you in 20 something days!  I have to repeat that to myself… 20-something DAYS.  Not weeks or months.  Days!  Oh, my word, it’s all happening so fast now, I can’t believe it!  Your dad took this week off so he and I could do a lot of things to prepare for your arrival, including interviewing pediatricians, getting the house ready, getting educated on things I’ve never done before (like changing a diaper!) and - among many other things - it’s time for mom to trade in her sports car for something you’ll be more comfy in.  This week, your dad and I are also going to take some time to just be together.  We’re going to take a drive to see the fall leaves here in NC and enjoy our last days together before you join us and make our days even better!  We also have a lot going on in my office this week.  8000lbs of magazines arrived today, your Aunt Marissa and Aunt Whitney are having a wonderful time looking at pretty dresses in NY and tomorrow night when they get back, all of the wonderful ladies I work with will be joining us for a celebration dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.  We have so much to celebrate, little one!  I can’t wait for you to meet them all soon!  Dr. Evers told me this morning that I’m allowed to have you anytime now.  I vote you stay in there till your due date, but it’s pretty exciting to know that you are healthy and that it really could be any day now!  I’m so grateful.  God is soooo good.  Love, Mom
