A Thousand Plateaus

I have been waiting for what seems like forever.  I have never been blessed with patience.  I hate traffic, can’t stand being put on hold, and avoid long lines.  Unfortunately, gestation is not one of those things you can speed up.  This little person needs to take her time to get ready for the world.  I know that in my head.  My heart wants her to come out and play.

Pregnancy has not been the hormone-raging, stomach-guided experience I thought it might be.  I’m not crying at commercials or having my husband run out in the middle of the night for ice cream.  But it has taken OVER my life.  My body has become public domain, where advice never stops coming, and people feel free to tell me how miserable I will be in the upcoming months.

We have two months to wait.  Two months until we get to see this little piece of heaven.  Two months until a little girl takes over our hearts.  Two months until the family we have always wanted will be together.
