Nope. No baby. Not yet. But I got to enjoy a leisurely and decadent Thanksgiving holiday -- didn't lift a finger (so guilty!). My mom took over the heft of the kitchen duties, including the shopping, prepping, cooking AND the clean-up (how terrible am I?!). Tag deep-fried our turkeys again this year - spectacular as always.
I continue to roll around the house, larger than life...feeling those "deep sea" movements in my belly...and wondering what it will be like to have a newborn in this house. As eager as I am to reach the end of this pregnancy, I'm anxious about the enormity of the baby's arrival. Not the birth -- I'm as prepared as I can be for the challenge of birth -- just the incredibleness of her arrival...it's overwhelming to think about. Maybe she's waiting for me to settle my heart about it? Are you ever really ready for the arrival of a firstborn? What an awesome responsibility...
