It's crazy to think how little time is left before baby finally comes - only 11 weeks till my actual due date and who knows what will happen? No matter what way you slice it, baby is on its way!
We've been stuck in reno hell for 2 weeks (and we were gonna buy an old house??) - hell mainly because we still had to live here in this small space while we were doing everything, so it was move it, then move it again, and again and again. Tons of work, but it looks beautiful even though it's not totally finished up yet (it's finished enough for now, that's for sure!). The floors are gorgeous and were worth it but WOW what a lot of work (an apt metaphor for parenthood, I suspect...) It's a pleasure just to look at them, and they really make the whole place brighter and airier. The baby's room looks lovely and we both find ourselves going in there just to sit and absorb, sometimes in the middle of more restless nights (so much change afoot!) I sit in the chair and rock, or look into the empty crib and try to imagine the child that will soon fill it - it is an amazing idea to wrap your head around as an impending parent. I know soon it will be here and shortly thereafter will just be old hat, but for now, it is fresh and amazing and awesome to behold.
We're tired; tired of cleaning up and trying to figure out how our lives will go and wrapping our heads around the momentous changes that await us. We're just trying to sit back and enjoy these last few quiet weeks before everything is turned on its head and, as Ez says, we gain a whole universe.
