I'm appreciative of the blog and Gregg's discipline to "keep it up," which is FAR more involved than mine. He updates photo albums, posts on a regular basis, and even changes the banner to keep things interesting. The current banner is my favorite so far..."with a baby ready to exit." Easy for him to say...and for you to read...but that statement was ended too soon. You see, the baby is ready to exit, it is true, but I'd like to add to this "exciting" and "adorable" comment from daddy two very important words: With a baby ready to exit from Cyndi. Oh my gosh. The baby will be born. It will be coming out of me. Exiting my body to enter the world.
Now, this is something I've never done before -birthing a human child. I have an idea of how things will go, which I'm sure makes experienced mothers chortle a laugh of "oh you do, do you?" And they're right -I can only guess what it will be like and that guess is probably way off from the actual events that will be going down. I've been thinking lately of how bizarre and unbelievable it is that Brennan really could be born tomorrow; we could be parents in 24 hours. Now that fact alone is reeling enough, but the thing that is really blowing my mind is that the pregnancy is almost over. The preparation, the growing of a baby, almost a year's process just suddenly becomes finished and done within hours. So much time, nine months, 40 weeks, 280 days becomes history in a half a day's time.
So Brennan's finally ready to exit after all that time, and I think mom and dad are ready too, or at least as ready as can be to have this miracle of life exiting me to enter into our life -which will never be the same again. My mantra is: bring it on.
