The count down

I have started counting down what i have left to work. I am excited to be going on mat leave. The sad thing is that I am not really excited about the fact that I will get to meet my daughter soon after that it is the fact that I will be off work for just over a year and I am excited about that. It has been so busy and crazy at work lately that I am just ready for the time off.

I am excited about meeting my daughter though but it has nothing to do with my mat leave. I keep wondering what she will be like. We finally have a name for her as well although we are not sharing it with anyone till she is here. The first ones to know will be our parents when Tony calls from the hospital to say she has been born and tell the name and all the other details that the Moms will want to know.

I have been thinking how amazing it is going to be to see my daughter in my arms and what it will feel like. Then I started thinking that it is probably more amazing for my mom than for me. I know that sounds weird though. But I will be sitting there looking at my daughter and loving her. My mom will walk in and see her daughter holding her child. I think that must be an even more important feeling. I can't imagine what that will be like to see my baby holding her own baby. I will know what she has gone through and the feelings she will feel. I think that grandparents really have the best deal in the world. Yes they has to go through having there own kids but having grandchildren has to be the best reward for that.
