We're 15 days away from our due date (who's counting?) and feeling pretty confident about our preparations. I'm sure all that confidence will go out the window once we realize it's "go-time," but hey, we can enjoy it for now!
Today, Branden and I went to Yellow Springs {Check it out! } with Brianna and Troy. It was so much fun! We toured all of the little shops in the area and had lunch at a little tavern in town (which I totally forget the name of already...). We also ran into Dave Chapelle, which is a common occurance in Yellow Springs, but still very cool. We've all decided that we would be totally happy living the simple, hippie life in Yellow Springs =).
I've been thinking a lot lately about what un-pregnant life will be like. After all, it's been a pretty long time since I've gotten to experience it! I know there are a lot of things I'm looking forward to, and a lot of things that will be difficult. Just for fun, let's measure up:
Things I'm looking forward to
1. Sleeping on my stomach
2. Not running into everything
3. Not being pitied, or at least the
center of attention
4. Weighing a whole lot less (hopefully!)
5. Watching my baby grow up
6. Having a little Branden to laugh at
7. Not getting up 5 times a night...
Things I'm going to miss
1. Being able to go to sleep in minutes
2. Having an excuse for running into everything
3. Not being the center of attention =)
4. Having an excuse to eat so much ice cream
5. Knowing my wild baby has nowhere to escape!
6. Having only 1 Branden to take care of (AGHHH
7. Wait. Scratch that. That won't change. I'll get up 5 times a night anyway.
I could probably go on for a while, but I guess what I'm trying to say is life is about to get really hectic and really magical. I can't wait to hold my son, and see what he looks like, and hear what he sounds like, and watch him experience the world from the very beginning. Yeah, it'll be tough. I understand. But I know we can do it. For now, we're just counting down the days.
Love,
Jill
