My best friend lost her husband in his battle against cancer this weekend. He was diagnosed in December, received a stem cell transplant in April and passed away August 29th. My friend is left with 3 year old twins, who will never truly know their father. It reminds us how uncertain life is and how we really need to appreciate everything we have while we have it.
While one very important life is now gone from this world, a new life is in its final stage and about ready to join us in this uncertain world of ours. I really felt like baby was going to come a week early for the past couple months. Although she is on the move down towards the exit route, I don’t really feel like my body is ready to let her out. Last night it seemed as though she was going to push her way out through my stomach, but I’m pretty sure that isn’t going to work as well as she may think. I’m having a hard time sleeping and feel pretty uncomfortable when I wake up throughout the night. I feel like I shrunk a bit, but that may be because she’s lower now. I’m so uncomfortable in my chair at work. I may consider working from home a bit these next couple weeks since I don’t want to take off yet. The last thing I want to do is sit at home and twiddle my thumbs until she’s ready. I can’t wait to meet this little girl though. I wonder if she’ll be as active out of the womb as she’s been in? Will she have green eyes or brown? Will she look more like me or her dad? Or both? Will she be a happy baby? I hope my body has done a good job in preparing her for the world. There’s no doubt that her daddy and I will do our best in raising our daughter once she’s here.
