Who knew?

Who'd have guessed laundry could be such a life-altering experience. But here I am washing my daughter's first load of laundry...crying my eyes out over her tiny shirts and hats.

I am practically desperate to meet her - not wanting her to arrive too soon, of course, but desperate all the same. She jitterbugs across my right side all day long in anticipation of her entry to the outside world. In the meantime, we wait and fall more and more in love with the idea of her.
