Cold Weather = Time Warp

This may be the longest amount of time I have gone without putting something new up and it hasn't been for lack of material. Lord knows that little boy comes up with plenty of entertaining things to talk about. It's something about all this cold weather. I don't know whether it makes me lazy/tired or whether it just makes time move really quickly. It is amazing to see how fast time has started to fly by. I thought the holidays would make time fly, but this month seems to be going faster than the last.

And every now and again, I take a deep breath and remember that in just a few weeks we will be greeting a new addition to the family. It's really happening and really soon. I have just now started to think about what I need to prepare for baby sister. It's not much materially, but emotionally it is something I need to start thinking about. Just the birth alone is something I spent weeks preparing for with Liam which is why I was able to do it with no drugs. I would meditate and listen to these tapes to get my mind to drift when I was in labor- learning how to release endorphins that would act as a natural epidural. This time I know what to expect which will make it a little easier to prepare for, but I don't have the free time I did before. So having her at home is a little more comforting because the surroundings are comforting. And from what I hear, the second kid is USUALLY a little faster and less complicated than the first.

Whether I am ready or not, she is coming. And with all the excitement and anticipation comes nervousness and anxiousness. I can't wait to see what she looks like and what kind of baby she will be. I can't wait to hold her and kiss her wrinkly forehead and tell her I adore her. In the meantime, I am trying to "enjoy pregnancy" (whatever that means) because I never know what the future holds and if I will be able to experience it again. So for now- I will get back on track and keep you all updated on the goings on of Liam.
