- Pick a pediatrician (Yes!)
- Pre-wash baby’s clothes (Yes! Did another tiny load today!)

I have also been attempting to be crafty, working on special surprises for Hubby Ben and Big Sister Lilly…
We have put up all our Christmas decorations and the tree…
Ben and I are both ready. We are happy, anxious, excited, and nervous, overwhelmed, and blessed, and already in love with Jacyn.
All that is left to do now is spend time together, pray together, and wait patiently for our special miracle girl to arrive. 
Love, ~Ann & Baby Jacyn
