I can't wrap my head around how much life is going to change but I do know that we are as ready as we will ever be...
I've looked back on the past 8 months of blog posts and wondered if I've done enough to document these days before our daughter arrives. Will she know how her mama felt along each step of the way as she was grew from that teeny appleseed to the (now) watermelon? Can she see that her Dad & I have enjoyed so much these final moments as a duo, experiencing and enjoying our daily life in Manhattan but also anxiously awaiting her arrival? We've lived life as it feels right: weekdays of routine & preparation, homecooked meals. exploring new restaurants, brunches with our bests, indulgent & lazy saturdays, and endless conversing about who this offspring of ours will become(what will make & break her heart, what talents she may have, what will make her want to change her world.). I found myself wanting to sit down to write on numerous occasions but choose a walk through the park to let those daydreaming moments play out in nature vs on the computer typing away. I cling sometimes to these fleeting pregnant symptoms that both plague and enliven me---the extra weight of her growing body creating huffs & puffs at even the simplest task like getting up off the couch (it makes me roll my eyes at myself, just get UP Sarah) or the tickling of little feet to my side as I drift to sleep at night (I couldn't love those tiny toes more!)
