surreal.

that is how today feels.
i spent the morning at the doctor/hospital.
then i got a pedicure. my toes are ready.
i'm currently wearing a hospital bracelet. 
scheduled to have baby girl via c-section at 8am.
this will be my fourth c-section so i would so appreciate any and all prayers for a smooth, easy delivery and for health for both of us.
i have that nervous/excited tummy feeling today.
trying to finish up last minute things.
i don't have much.
need to finish packing.
doing a last load of laundry.
pick up a few staples for the house.
aj and i get to go eat dinner alone for the last time for awhile.
i hope i can sleep tonight.

by the way, i searched and searched for a going home dress for baby girl.
for some reason, i had it in my head that i wanted something white.
i couldn't find a white newborn dress any.where.
finally it dawned on me that i should just make her one.
i googled "pillowcase dress" and bought some white fabric & silk ribbon.
four dollars and half an hour later, i had this:


i love the sweet details of the fabric.


i am excited to see her itty bitty self in it.
and i think it's even more special that her mama made it for her. :)
