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…
