while we wait

i've been a slow poster the past week or so - and i thought i'd better say a few words or people might think baby girl had actually arrived. she hasn't.

i'm anxiously awaiting her arrival - every day i wonder, "could this be the day?" and then i fall asleep to the thought, "maybe tomorrow." i'm trying to be patient, but it's hard to be when i feel so anxious to move on and meet our little girl.

i've been trying to stay busy to keep my mind off the waiting game. so over the past week, mr. pike and i planted part of our garden. i've been putting together a family newsletter - although i'm still waiting on my front page article from dad lau. i cleaned the bathroom last night. i read parenting books - mostly the sections on how to get babies to sleep! mr. pike and i go to the gym regularly. and i've been indulging in a bowl or bite of ice cream almost nightly. (at this point, i feel i've earned every calorie!)

i'm sure you're all wondering when the big news will be posted on the blog - i do too! hopefully, it will be soon. i walked over 2.5 miles tonight at the gym - so that's got to do something, right?
