I think everyone has that moment during each pregnancy where reality sets in and you panic a little bit. You are not just pregnant, you are going to have a baby. I know, that is what being pregnant means but it is really easy to lose sight of that. We get a lot of attention, there are so many things to get done and all the pregnancy symptoms that distract us from the fact that we will in fact be bringing a new person into the world that we will be responsible for very soon. With Sammi it was towards the end of my pregnancy when Emma and I walked into a public restroom and I saw the changing table. I suddenly realized that I would have to start using those again, no more easy trips in with my potty trained big girl. I was having a baby. This time that moment came today when I got my weekly email updating me on the progress of my baby. I thought I was 33 weeks. Somehow I lost a week and am 34 weeks today! That means I have only 4-8 weeks to go until we meet baby trey and I am the mommy of 3 small children! Scary! Plus there is the whole impending labor thing. There is a lot I would like to get done before baby makes their appearance but I am going to have to just take a deep breath and realize it may not all get done and it isn't necessary. We have everything we need to have this baby, so what if my living room needs to be painted or I don't get all my sewing projects caught up. Although it would be nice to have a name picked out before baby gets here. But that is a topic for a different day.
