This post shows you the 21 Powerful Quotes About the Final Days Before Baby Arrives.

How is it even possible to try to describe how you feel before the baby arrives? It’s a mix of excitement, joy, adrenaline, and love.

I tried to envision this moment, and it was nothing like I could have ever imagined.

I loved daydreaming about my baby.

It was one of the things I would catch myself doing subconsciously, often in the morning when I was making coffee.

I would dream about my baby and what she would do with me in the future at that exact moment.
