It hasn’t been a lack of material that has kept me from posting for the last 2 months. To the contrary - my mind has been spinning at 400mph with no slow-down in sight.
I am very anxious about having our baby. I am SOOO excited to meet our new little one that I can barely contain myself. I go from task-mode (get this done, get that done) to just pondering the ways in which life is going to change.
The typical reaction I get from people who don’t know we’re expecting is so consistent that it’s frightening. Let me preface this by saying that the reaction is shared by 100% of people I’ve talked to with kids.
“Yeah, we’re having a baby in x months.”
“Really? Congratulations! (The next few sentences differ on an individual basis, but wind their way to the same place). Yeah… life is going to change.”
This last statement is ALWAYS followed by a period of laughter ranging from a slight devious chuckle to an outright fit of gut-wrenching laughter.
I feel like I’m being indoctrinated into some secret society filled with special handshakes and secret meeting places.
So now the waiting period continues and grows in intensity. We are within 3 weeks of the delivery date and I couldn’t be happier. Well, I could be, but I don’t want to get ahead of things.
I can’t wait to meet my little girl.
