So yeah, we've reached the "any day now" phase of pregnancy and all of its accompanying emotions and physical discomforts. I've ranged from moments of wide-eyed terror at the thought of, "Oh yeah, this thing in my belly has to come OUT," to lovely serene moments of imagining myself gracefully and quietly taking care of Sofia while simultaneously having a five-minute, pain-free birth and cooking a delicious dinner. Ha. These swings are pretty unusual for me after a very even-keeled pregnancy, and definitely indicate that it's about time for Nico to get here.
Are we ready for another human being here at Casa Da Caselli? Who knows? That's like asking me right now if we're going to have more kids. Um, really? Check back with me in about a year when I've conveniently forgotten what it feels like to have a skull jammed into my tailbone. But all the little details that we can control are organized and ready to go, so I guess we're about as ready as we can be.
Bottom line is, I'm excited to meet this little booger who's been squishing my bladder for the last couple months. I can't wait for that feeling when his skin first touches mine. To see what he looks like, to see his Daddy's face when they first meet. And oh my, to watch Sofia and her baby brother!
Yep, it's a wild ride. Here we go again!
