I just reread what I wrote back on July 26, almost exactly 6 months ago. It seems like so long ago -- so much has changed.
You're definitely real to us now. My belly is enormous, and you're a very active baby in there. Plus, the nursery is 90% complete, we're preparing for our second shower in less than 3 weeks, and I've started documenting my job and plans for while I'm on leave. It's amazing to think that you will be here in 7 weeks or less.
I think it's really getting real for Daddy, too. We're definitely both excited, but we're starting to feel the pressure of getting everything done and being ready. My mobility and energy levels are decreasing, too, which is a challenge. I just need to figure out exactly what and how much I can do. Lately I've been overdoing it for a few days and then completely exhausted for a day or two. I think Daddy and I just need to accept the fact that I'm going to have to slow down and forgo some social commitments over the next few weeks. So much change! So much to learn and so much to look forward to!
