So, today I put in the second carseat today in anticipation of the arrival of “sprout” this coming Tuesday. I was reminded of the first time I did this for Little “L’s” arrival and how I knew my life was going to change forever… and I mean I knew it was going to drastically change. But what was funny, was (bare with me) I knew that even though I knew my life was going to change forever… I also knew that I really had no idea how much it was going to change. Somehow, I thought that because I knew I had no idea, that it might actually prepare me more than it would have otherwise…
…nope!
Today, I had the same thoughts running through my head… I remembered thinking that knowing I knew nothing was somehow preparing me for not knowing what I knew I didn’t know. But, alas… all I really know is that I really don’t have a clue what it’s going to be like other than the same emotional steam/roller/coaster as last time, is going to catch me off-guard right when I think I know what to expect.
Less than two-and-a-half days…

It sounds like an exciting time for you. I hope everything is going well and that you report back soon to update, Steelie. Change is good! ^_____^
It's just so mind blowing. I can't wrap my head around it but that's mostly because of the distance. I can only imagine what you two (three?) must be feeling! It's stranger this time, though, because you/we know the exact date. Last time there was a constant aticipation that I don't expect you feel now. Although, T could go into labour at any moment now, you know the new sprout will arrive no later than Oct. 17 at 8ish am. Just so strange.I'm thinking about you guys constantly. I even dreamed about babies last night. I'm on pins and needles! Can't wait to hear from you!!
