I had been counting down my pregnancy by big life events, like I found out I was pregnant in June, then the next month was our vacation, and I figured by my birthday in September I would be out of the sick, yuck phase (which I was), etc, etc. There wasn't a lot between September and November, but with November comes Thanksgiving, then Christmas in December, and in January is Tom's birthday, and then February is the baby! I knew once the holidays hit, things would start to speed up, but it seems like time is flying by at warp speed. I have a doctor's appointment Friday, and then after that I start going every 2 weeks, which I will only do 3 times, and then I have to go every week.
All of this is basically adding up to a little bit of shock on my part that, yes, we really are having a child, and yes, I do have to deliver her. This seems a little silly since I wake up every morning with this large bump for a stomach, but it is easy to forget sometimes when I'm caught up at work or taking care of the house and the hubby (just kidding...he mostly takes care of himself). I don't feel scared - maybe a little anxious - just keenly aware of the fact that our lives are about to change drastically, and we are in it for the long haul. That is okay. We are ready for that. I just need to keep remembering that it's coming...and SOON!!
