Reality is Setting In

Little by little, it's hitting me that really soon we're going to actually have a little person with us.  I'm only six weeks away from full term, under eight weeks away from my due date, and if this little babe was born right now, he'd most likely be okay.

He doesn't let me forget the reality of the situation either; he's getting more active by the minute, and some times I just have to lean back and let him kick and turn and adjust for a while, because I can't do much else when my insides are being jostled around!

I've forgotten, at times, the end result of this.  There's this pregnancy we're going thru--but afterwards he'll be here.  And we'll be parents forever.  It's scary, it's overwhelming, and I'm still finding myself excited about it, when I'm not about to faint!

Here's the dinosaur lamp we're putting in his room.

We're still trucking along though, doing our best to make sure we're ready (as ready as we can be!), while still trying to savor our last few weeks without the responsibility of parenthood.  

This is such a surreal experience~I can't even begin to sum up the jumble of confusing emotions behind it!  

(Thanks for listening though~or reading, rather!)
