As we anxiously await the arrival of our first son there are many loose ends to tie up. A room to fill, organize, reorganize, and many what-if's to answer. As I put away all of the baby gifts I can't help to think how none of it will be right when the baby actually gets here. It seems to be in the perfect space now, but once the baby is here will it really be the most practical? Is there a practical place for anything?
I'm also starting to get the jitters. I'm not nervous about caring for a baby. I'm not nervous about the crying, the diapers, the feeding, and the other things that first time parents often worry about. The idea of it changing from just the two of us to three of us scares me. Change scares me. Change has always scared me though and it always works out in the end, so I know that I shouldn't let it get to me. I'm excited about our family growing, to watch my husband be a father, and to spend all of those irreplaceable moments together. I'm just using these last few weeks to soak in the last of "our time".
