Motherhood is Looming....

It is hard to believe that soon I will actually be a mom!! I have wanted to be a mom since forever. I guess that maternal instinct has been cultivated in me since my parents were divorced and I took over the role of taking care of my little sister and brother. While they aren't so little anymore, I am still the "mother" of the group. Now I am going to have a little one of my own!!! I have wanted this for so long, and now I am in a position to be ready for a baby and I am scared to death. I am wondering if I am going to be able to be a good mom and raise my daughter the way that I want her to be. I guess the only way to know is to live through it and see how it goes :)

I have about 4 more months to make sure the house and the nursery is ready for Fionna Ann's arrival. In the beginning it seemed like my pregnancy was dragging on and now it seems like in no time I will be going into labor and she will be here!!! So much to do, so little time!!! I think its time to make one of my infamous TO DO lists so that I can make sure I accomplish everything that I want to before she comes!! Then there is also getting my department ready at work for me to be on maternity leave for 12 weeks!!! Whew!!! Is four months going to be enough time????
