So we are one quarter way there. 1/4th, 25%, 10 weeks. I'm wishing it would go a little bit faster but at the same time, trying to get a firm grasp how much our lives are going to change just over 6 months from now.
Are you ever REALLY ready? Just more ready than 2 years ago? The same amount of ready? Who knows. Because either way, you weren't a parent before. You weren't trying to raise a productive member of society. You weren't totally and completely responsible for someone else's well being. This is heavy.
We are welcoming it with big, wide open arms while secretly screaming "WHAT IS HAPPENING!?" It's all very exciting and scary.
She's only the size of a kumquat (really, who even knows what that is?) but she's growing fingernails and hair already. FINGERNAILS people. Babies can't even be trusted with their fingernails once they're born, cue the sock-like mittens we use to protect them from themselves. She'd better not try to claw her way out of my uterus anytime soon.
On me:
-Still sick
-Still tired
-Have graduated to eating regular human food daily
-Thought I gained a pound but it was just my clothes. Still down 6 lbs.
-Still looking forward to it all.
