Dear baby

Dear baby aka #2,

I have now been pregnant for 41 weeks and 3 days. Because it's not unusual to give birth 2-3 weeks early, that means we've been expecting you "any day now" for about a month! In that time, the leaves have turned and are starting to fall and the weather has turned cool and crisp. I was just telling your dad today that it's been a little nuts to be on high alert for so long, wondering if each day is the day or just another day. While it is nerve wracking, I've also found that it feels a little like each day is the last day. Last day to...
... go out to eat relatively easily.
... go out anywhere relatively easily.
... take a long bath with Oli.
... lounge on the couch and watch TV with your dad after Oli falls asleep.
... get a (nearly) full night's sleep.
It's been good to just live life a little slower for awhile. But, we are getting increasingly anxious and excited to meet you. Any day now would be great!

xoxo, Mom
