Feeling a bit nostalgic and EXCITED!

This whole bed rest thing is no fun but at the same time, very needed. My one hour up and out of bed today was spent starting to get Zackary's room organized. Matt already brought the boxes and boxes of baby stuff up into the nursery and it will be my task over the next few weeks to unpack, organize, wash, clean and decorate this space. Today I started by going through what we already have...which is A LOT!

As I unpacked each sock, outfit, onesie and hat I was able to remember who bought it and where one or both of the boys wore it. This was a wonderful walk down memory lane. In addition, as I unpacked the already bought brand new newborn clothes for little Zack (we have NO long sleeved clothes newborn and both boys were summer babies)  I am so excited to meet this little nugget and make more memories.

Then I came across a newborn diaper, unused thankyouverymcuh. I am not sure what made me keep this but I did and I about cried. I CANT WAIT to hold a newborn. It is the most amazing thing in the entire world. What goes under the diaper doesn't matter, it is the sweet baby that matters.

The other thing that crossed my mind as I unpacked the boxes and boxes of stuff was this can no way be the last time I do this. (I know my mother is going to kill me) but bed rest is nothing compared to spending time with my little monkeys. I love being a mom and I am not sure this can be the last baby in my life.

I am willing to lay down 23, well more like 21 hours a day for this little man and I would do it again for another baby. I can't wait to meet the little body that is going to fill the clothes, hats, onesies, crib, bassinet, swing and our arms.
