The Cavalry Has Arrived

My lovely inlaws, Bill and Susan, arrived last night to help with the boys and the girlie (whenever she decides to make her grand entrance). I was sitting on the couch when I heard the door open and I had the same feeling I had when I picked my mum up from the airport two days before I was induced with the boys - Its really happening. I'm going to have a baby. Soon.

You'd think after already having two kids I'd be a bit blase, perhaps not quite so surprised at the thought of a new arrival, but nope. The thought of a new person joining our family, a new life in this world, totally blows my mind. I can't think of any other, non-surfer-dude way of saying it. She's been a reality for so long and yet still so intangible, hiding there in my stomach. I've been aching to hold her and the fact that I could very well be doing just that any day now is quite overwhelming. I've been so impatient for the last few weeks (months? Mark would nod here) but now I'm almost freaked out. Almost. I'm ready. But...woah, dude. I'm having a baby.

OMG - I know. That feeling is so (surfer dude voice) unreal, man. When the doctors told me um, it's NOW, I could barely wrap my head around it, although I was scheduled for the next day! I'm SO excited for you all. Good luck and I can't WAIT to see the pictures.

Thanks Pasc. Was having a bad day with all sorts of irritating things making me grumpy. You just put it all into perspective and made me smile. Big time. Tee hee. You're having a baby!
Love you. Ma

I think you should be required to do a daily blog update from now on stating 'No baby today. All is well.'

Whaddya think? Waiting for blog updates is more suspensful than a scary movie.

Thinking of you at this exciting time.
