What a difference

What a difference a year makes? Am I right? Stephanie and I were texting last night about how it was one year ago yesterday that we MET for the first time. Can you believe that? One year ago, four strangers met at a coffee shop in the middle of a winter storm to discuss surrogacy and get to know each other. And now only a year later those strangers have become like family and Stephanie is about to deliver our baby any day now. So crazy!

This weekend Carmelo and I took Eliza to a hotel down the street. She's been having tantrums and just not acting like herself. She seems to really be craving attention and with the baby coming I wanted to make sure she had some special time with Mommy and Daddy. It turned out to be the best decision and we had such a great time. The Northeast has been hit with some brutally low temperatures, so between needing attention and going stir crazy in our house it was nice to go some where new and go swimming! Eliza loves the water and we spent hours in the pool at the hotel, went to dinner and then just went back to the room and snuggled. We had nothing else to do, nowhere else to be and it was a perfect little night away with just the three of us. What a difference getting out of the house can do!

And now:

• Hospital Bags are packed and ready
• Car seat is in
• House is cleaned

Now we just need Baby!
