English term or phrase: excited anticipation
Hola! como podría traducir "excited anticipation" en el siguiente contexto?

When parents learn their newborn or expected child has a cognitive disability, they often feel faced with a crisis of the conscience.In an instant, their excited anticipation to welcome their child into the world is transformed into nervous anxiety.

Emocionada anticipación? No estoy muy contenta con esta opción...alguna sugerencia?

Muchas gracias
