first let me begin by saying i do not like carly simon's song.
however, "we can never know about the days to come, but we think about them anyway..." sounds about right, right now.
it's been almost 9 whole months now (we'll never know really, will we?) and this little critter has been steadily growing inside me belly, and with it i have experienced feelings that i never considered i would have - namely being jabbed in the liver time and time again.
the love, the wonder, the amazement - and now the hurry up and wait. everett and i are so ready (dammit!) to meet this little fella! will he have big brown eyes? curly hair? hair at all? will he have stick legs and big feet like dad did? oy, this is not a chore for an impatient person!
at any rate, i suppose the point is - as my friend kate kindly put it - that the little man is clearly stating who is boss these days, and we are just going to have to deal with it. one day, one hour, one mini non-contraction cramp after another. one of these times it will be the real deal, and then the world as we know it will begin to change.
until then i'm keeping my date with that chicken salad at the cheescake factory, and will devour every last bite as a soon-to-be mom, instead of a bleary-eyed, sleep deprived (but nonetheless, a) mom.
