almost time

I’ll be at the hospital in less than 24 hours getting ready to welcome the mystery baby into our arms and lives. I can’t believe the time has already come. That afternoon in September when we learned about this baby seems like so long ago – Theo was barely 6 months old. So much has changed since then. At the same time, it feels like this pregnancy has zoomed by.
I’m ready to feel normal again. I’m ready to tie my shoes and bend over. I’m ready to get up off the floor and out of bed without feeling pain.  I’m ready to wear pants that zip.
I’m not ready to get only stolen moments of sleep here and there. I’m not ready to spend 50% of my day breastfeeding. I’m not ready to look at my jello belly that used to hold a baby and wonder if it will ever be normal again (the answer is no). 
Ready or not, here he or she comes.
The next time I blog, it will be as a mother of 2.
Wish me luck,
