Because I am...
I am very excited too, but have to admit that I am having a wibble today (am FULL of cold and feeling shite, which doesn't help)!
I 'think' we have done all the right things. We have discussed getting the dog at length as a family. We have done tons of research about the breed that we are getting. I have negotiated being able to wfh for the majority of my hours (only 10/12 anyway). I have tons of puppy training books. Kids are 13 and 11, we are a busy active family, who has time for a busy active dog.
Our breeder is excellent and we have seen our puppy often, she also phones every few days with an update. There was a waiting list for the puppies. All three of her dogs are worked.
The crate is set up, toys are in it, I have bought all manner of puppy stuff. He arrives a week on Saturday.
I think it's the fear of the unknown surfacing today, we have never had puppy before, I am worried about training him correctly, whether I can 'do it'. Also, that DH will struggle with the puppy stage, or rather perhaps we all will!
I feel like an expectant parent today I think.
That's it really, just wanted to 'get it out there', so to speak.

The doghouse
Is it normal to be nervous about getting our puppy?
