Here I am at 37 plus weeks and going (or should I say 'growing')! Our changing table arrived yesterday. Just about everything we received via shipping has arrived broken - the table, our moses basket, the moses basket stand... However, we were able to set it up with a missing piece. Waking up to an almost complete baby's room (no crib) was surreal. I am definitely processing this last phase of my transition. Part of me is so eager and excited for baby to arrive; Another part of me feels sad that my pregnancy is ending. Today, I feel that sadness. I have truly loved being pregnant, and experiencing and sharing this journey.
I told Joe it feels like the "calm before the storm" right now. The storm may be the final stages with frantic nesting, or it may be when the baby arrives, but it's coming! I remember standing outside during the 'eye' of Hurricane Gloria in 6th grade. Knowing it would soon pass, I was completely mesmorized at the quiet, still moment in time. That is a bit how I feel right now.
