3 months!

We're are exactly 3 months away from our due date. Of course Lovebug could come earlier or later, but for all intents and purposes, we're 3 months away from having our little boy here with us, outside the belly, and safely at home.

I must confess, I have mixed feelings about this. This means I've been pregnant for 6 months. Six months... it's a long time!! It also means that we still have 3 months to go (obviously). Three months, after six months... such a long time!!

So on one side, I can't wait! On the other, I know it's going to be such a huge change, that I wonder if we have enough time to have everything ready for Lovebug! I would definitely prefer having all ready (or as ready as can be), so we can really just enjoy Lovebug, and get to know him and his rhythm in those 6 weeks the three of us will be home. I'm sure this will be like wedding planning in a way: I'll wonder if we have enough time, we'll tackle things one at a time, and we'll find we have everything ready on time, no problems. But I guess since it's a waiting game at this point, I just want to get started with organizing and putting furniture together, etc. I guess this is what they call my "nesting period"...

Also, I'm so excited that Josh gets to spend about 6 weeks with us! It's exactly what I would ask for, because I think it's really important for the three of us to bond as a family and get used to the new dynamic. And I know Josh will enjoy those first few weeks figuring things out just as much as I will. There are several things I'm looking forward to, and one of the big ones is watching Josh with Lovebug. I know he's going to be such an awesome father, and I can't wait to see my husband and my son bond in the intimacy of our home: early in the morning as Josh sings and dances with Lovebug, or just before bedtime, and Josh tells him a little story while he falls asleep between us. I know this is selfish of me, but I want those moments all for myself.

Three more months. Three short months to witness that miracle. Definitely worth the wait.
