Even Sweeter

It's an exciting week for the Davis family...

but first..

photos from March!


A few from St. Patrick's Day.....

.....and those random phone photos that I can never bring myself to delete.

A visit to the Easter Bunny....

.....which was not Walt's favorite thing this year ; )

We spent Good Friday at Blessington Farms for an egg hunt and other farm fun...

Walt's first Easter egg hunt!

I could have watched him run and play on the farm all day.  He was so sweet.

I think I'll always remember this day as the one where I was HUGE and pregnant....

and standing nearby while Daddy took Walt down the slides, through the hay bale maze, and running around the farm.

It was an enjoyable afternoon!

On Easter Eve, the BEST thing arrived on a jet plane!

Just in time for Easter!

It's been 3 months since we've seen Grandmom and Grandad, and our hearts were long overdue for them.

The next morning, the Easter Bunny left Walt an Easter basket full of his favorite thing....  Curious George!

And though I'm still not sure how, Grandmom and Grandad managed to pack Walt an Easter basket of things from his favorite movie...

.....and even baskets for Troy and I.

I'm still wondering if they've brought clothing....  as the luggage seems to have been full of goodies.

Easter morning...

We closed Easter weekend with dying Easter eggs....

....and celebrating Mom's birthday!

It was a wonderful Easter weekend.

A few weeks ago, we took my very last monthly belly picture...

This pregnancy has been a memorable one, and different from Walt's in many ways.  I've been more emotional, more exhausted...

and more aware of the immense love and joy that this baby will bring us.  

This time, I already know of what the love between a mother and child can do.  It changes you, defines you, and weaves its way into every emotion, thought, and feeling you have.

There's nothing like this love.  Nothing.

And now here we are.

Tomorrow....  March 31st...  around noon.... 

our lives will once again change forever.

I still can't believe it.  In less than 24 hours....  a dream that has filled my heart for a lifetime....will unfold.

I will have a daughter.

And as I lay here in bed tonight... anticipation and excitement growing by the minute... I think of how full my heart is.  I have my husband cuddled next to me.....  my parents in the room beside us....

and I see the most precious baby boy on the monitor .....  snuggled on his belly, knees tucked, with his little bottom in the air.

Even in this small apartment, in a big unfamiliar city....  it feels perfect.

And to think......

tomorrow, it gets even better.

Tomorrow, my full will be even fuller....  my great, will be even greater....  my sweet will be even sweeter.

My Darling Juliet,

Tonight, I will dream and wish for you for the very last time.  For very soon, you will be in my arms, and forever mine.  Your family is anxiously counting down the minutes until your arrival, already knowing that we are not complete until you are here.  

I can not wait to spend a lifetime loving you.  

Mommy
