Well, we've arrived...

Yes, a bit tired, but we've arrived!

Bill and I just landed in DC about an hour ago. This is the last stop on the way to fatherhood and it feels a bit surreal, but so, so exciting. I guess if I were to pick one...the most intense feeling running through my veins right now is one of anticipation. It's like Heinz 57 on STEROIDS.  I just can't believe that we are here and literally days away from the meeting of a lifetime. It's all a bit overwhelming. And did I say surreal???  :-)

We are staying with our very good friend David, and he has completely buffed us out with all the newborn necessities, since we are so far away from home...and 5,000 miles away from our buffed out nursery. His sister just had a baby about a year ago and so we have a ton of hand-me-downs from her. Thank you, Sarah!  David also gave us his bedroom, and it included a co-sleeper, and a ton of onesies and gowns and all kinds of stuff. We only brought a few newborn clothes with us, knowing he had so much here.  It couldn't have worked out better. Did I say our friends our AWESOME? Because they are...in so many ways...it's tough to document it all...

We are also going to get together with another about-to-be-daddies bloggers Kevin and Jeff, hopefully this Saturday. They were gracious enough to invite us to their home for a casual BBQ and some drinks...unless someone decides to arrive before then??? (EEEEEK!!! That was a sort of gay squeal). Definitely excited to meet them and see the nursery and all their preparations...they're in DC for a few more weeks and then then they are off to Cali to meet their little (or big?) boy!  Thanks guys for being so hospitable while we're in your city! We promise to return the favor when all three come to visit Hawaii.

Ok, off to bed.  To think that anytime soon we could get a phone call that says "get your butts over here, I'm ready to go!!!" is weighing heavy on the brain.  Night all...
