you father (who has been pretty calm and collected throughout the entire pregnancy so far) is finally facing the reality that you are really coming and coming soon. he's been my rock the past 8 months. he's helped with keeping everything in perspective and was good at keeping me somewhat sane.. but i think it's my turn now to help him get ready for you.
almost all the materialistic things you need is ready for you.
dr. kim thinks you won't be staying inside until may 14th. as of now, you are coming early. i think we get a better idea at this saturday's doctor's appointment. (btw.. you've been covering your face for the last few ultrasounds, so we don't know what you look like anymore. maybe you're camera shy like your parents).
when i was young.. i used to have a list of what i would not do as a mother. i was worried that when i became an adult, i would forget all the things i hated about my own mother and repeat the same cycle with my kids. now that i have grown up i've realized...
- my mom is still the same, so i never forgot about the things i didn't want to repeat as a parent.
- i can see that years of planning how not to become my mother was not a good thing in the end. it clouded my memories of all the good things my mom did for me and my siblings (more on that later). i've decided to try to think of all the things that i love about my mom and be that & more for you.
as i was typing this post, you are doing the usual rhythmic punching with your arms but also stretching out your feet at the same time. it's like you're telling me.. "i want oooouttt!!"
