Well, I think it’s finally starting to sink in. I am realizing just how much of a change this is going to be. I hadn’t really begun to comprehend all of this until I started going about my usual daily routine. I noticed that I began seeing everything in a new light, as if I was viewing my life through “you’re-having-your-first-born-child” glasses. Everything I am used to now feels strangely different.
Initially it was a bit unnerving, but as my brain continued down that new path I began to see all of the new things that I would be doing. Falling asleep in a chair with the baby on my chest, changing diapers, making a brand new pile when I sort the laundry… The more and more I thought about it, the more excited I got. I also realized how much I had thought about having a child in the past; playing catch, teaching them how to fill up the gas tank, watching them follow me around the yard as I mow the lawn. I know, “Awww…,” but thinking about this stuff and how it’s actually going to happen… that is something I’ve never felt before. I can’t wait!
i think you need to learn how to make ponytails and pigtails so you can help jesse get your daughter ready for the day……
get ready for tea parties, too…….
and hup sa sa du reiter (whatever) and ploompsie, ploompsie, ploompsie…….
i dreamt jesse had the baby and we still didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl first it was a girl and she was really cute but in the end it was a blue one – i guess my past experience crept into my dreamy state at that point….
Maybe I will have one of each just like you have said all along.
