Small Victory

Today I reached a milestone. For the first time in several months I was able to put on a regular pair of shoes. No more flip flops, no more slippers. I finally have my feet back!

1 week

Hard to believe an entire week has come and gone. She is changing every day and we are trying to savor every moment.

Christmas has finally arrived!

After a very long wait, our Christmas miracle is finally here. Arriving a few days early on December, 20th at 7:22 AM, we feel so blessed to introduce our new daughter to the world:

Carmen James Skurski

6 lbs, 10 oz, 19 inches

39 weeks...

The house is decorated, the stockings are hung and now we wait.  Although, the waiting is almost over as in less than 2 days our little girl will be here.  Call her comfortable, call her stubborn...she is currently breech and as a result will make her grand debut into this world by c-section on Monday the 20th.

We are excited, anxious and wait in anticipation for our lives to change for the better.  Never have we looked so forward to a Monday.

Little Skurski's Christmas Stocking ready and waiting.

Our soon to be family of three.

Ready

It's incredible to think how quickly nine months can go.  At the beginning it felt like Christmas was a lifetime away, but now it is right around the corner, 19 days to be exact.  We are ready. Ready to finally meet and hold our baby girl.  Ready to start a new chapter of our lives and become parents. Ready for the long, sleepless nights that we will manage because we have so much love for our daughter.  We've been waiting a long time and the wait is almost over.

We've been busy over the last several months with preparations and the nursery is now waiting and ready for our new arrival.  We hope our little one will enjoy her new room.  Santa, we are ready for our Christmas miracle.
