Waiting...

Life’s moving a little more slowly for me these days. My husband just finished his last week of full hospitalist work (seven days straight, ten or eleven hours a day). Starting next month, he’ll be cutting his hospitalist hours back to seven days straight, seven hours a day. He made the choice to cut back so that he could be with us, his family, more. And so he can be more available to help me when our next little man shows up.

Speaking of which, I am just less than two weeks away from my due date. While I am by no means miserable, I am rather uncomfortable and would be glad to be on the other side of labor as soon as possible. I saw my reflection in a window today and saw what looked like me but there was a huge round ball attached to the front of me. Plus, my reflection seemed to be walking a little funny and slowly!

My days are rather simple now as I am not up to doing as much as I normally am. I am pretty content keeping our home running and spending time with my son. I have really enjoyed connecting with him the last few weeks…this is definitely one of my favorite stages so far! Knowing that our family is about to change any day, I feel the desire to enjoy every moment of the one on one time we do have.

In the meantime, I am working on putting together a collection of blog posts centered on one topic. Depending on when this new little baby arrives, I may be able to begin posting those posts soon. However, if I find myself lost in the just-had-a-baby fog soon than expected, it may be a while for the posts to find their way here.
