I honestly didn't think we would be waiting still for Sophie to come. I am getting a little impatient but trying to stay positive. I feel like all I do now is sit on the couch and ask other people to do stuff because I'm too tired to get up and just plain lazy. I don't sleep well at all, so I am always needing a nap, which I hardly get because again, I don't sleep well anymore. I guess I am just getting ready for the real sleep deprivation. Hopefully it won't be as bad as I remember it was with Sydney if I am prepared like this. I wake up in hour intervals anyway to switch sides, so hopefully I can handle it and not have to wake up Gabe as much as I did with Sydney.
Everything seems to be ready. We have our bags packed for the hospital and have had them packed for a week now. We have all her clothes and things washed and we got a baby bath tub and a humidifier at the baby shower my friends threw for me last week. Thanks guys!
We got new clothes and toys for Sophie. We bought diapers for her and the portacrib is all set up in our room with fresh sheets, ready for Sophie to sleep in it. We have bottles and pacifiers and everything you can think of, ready for her to use if she needs to. I just wish she would come so I can put all that stuff to good use! And I want to hold her too! I want to see how Sydney reacts when she sees her how she will act that first week of having Sophie home. Sydney loves playing with the baby swing and turning it up to the highest swing setting, which makes me a little nervous. I don't want to leave Sophie in our room with the door closed to keep Sydney away if I need to get things done around the house, but then again, I don't want Sydney playing around with the swing or trying to get into it. Or even trying to climb into the portacrib too. She is becoming quite the climber now days.
Gabe and I were talking about how Sophie might look. I think she will look like Sydney. The 3D ultrasound of her a couple weeks ago gave me the impression that she looks a little bit like Sydney, but you never know with those. She looks soo cute though! I wonder if she will have brown eyes like Sydney and Gabe, or if she will have blue/green eyes like me. How much is she going to weigh? I was already scared about her being huge but I really don't look huge so I am really doubting that she will be a big baby like the Drs said at the ultrasound checkup a couple weeks ago.
Anyway, I keep praying that she will come today, tomorrow, at least on or before Thursday!!!! Please please please! I want to be home on Christmas Eve and Christmas! But I guess its not about what I want anymore. Maybe I should say that I NEED her to come before then. Then it becomes a need and not a want, eh? ;P
Well, keep crossing your fingers and praying that she comes before Christmas for us would you guys please? I know she will come when its time but, I really would like that time to be now! :P

My babies used to be late, always, not one was born close to their due date (with Paula I had two doctors and they gave me different due dates - apparently pregnancies are longer in Argentina than in Spain (?) - so she was born close to the date I was given in Argentina), it was usually 7 to 10 days late. With Paula my water broke on December 31st in the morning and she wasn't born until January 2nd. That was the worst holiday ever! I hope Sophie comes either before or after Christmas.
