Big Life Changes
We saw the baby on the ultrasound again today. This time we left the other kids at home (whew!) and Nana got to come along instead. She's gotten a lot bigger since the first time we saw her; bigger since the last time, even. :) She went from being a tiny break-dancing alien to a chubby, squished-up little baby seemingly overnight. And you should see the size of Michelle's belly--my god!
I've known that we're in our 38th week of pregnancy. I've also known that she's due on the 28th. But somehow it was still a shock when the doctor said at the end, "We'll make an appointment for two weeks and I'll see you then if you haven't had the baby." Somehow, rational knowledge of that stuff hadn't really sunken in. It was a surprise to realize "Holy shit, these next two weeks will be the last ones without the baby."
Up until now it's always seemed like we had forever until she was here, or like she'd never get here. It's been a far-off event for so long that to think of it truly being so near today was a really strange mental moment. Hehe, I guess you'd have to have been there though. :)
Off for now, gotta handle some things. See y'all!
