we're about to become two new mommies. every day i've been leaning on the baby (well, the belly) and pleading "come out! we want to see you!" but for the last three days i've been pleading with the belly "don't come out!!" because i'm sick. with a hideous flu. i've been trapped in hideous bed for 3 days, crawling only to the bathroom and back. and avoiding neela. hoping to not get her sick.
worrying that the baby will come and i won't be able to be there, which would not only be very difficult for neela, but devastating to me.
but this evening i had some solids. and they seem to be processing. this is a good sign.
so soon, we will become two new mommies. neela can't wait for the baby to come out now. before, she was afraid of the birth, the labour, the pain. now, though, she's so tired and uncomfortable that she just says "get out of me!"
it's exciting. mind boggling. soon, our lives will be utterly altered. it's not the first time my life has been utterly altered, but still, it's definitely the BIGGEST change ever. i'm sure i'll miss our old life - it's good. but i can't wait for our new one. our new baby-life.
soon!
