Really we're all just at the beginning. Random thoughts :)
It's funny...this whole pregnancy I've been so focused on my due date, counting weeks, milestones, checking things off the to-do list, watching my ticker get smaller, and so on, that I've almost forgotten that the day my baby is born is really just the beginning. It feels like I'm in the home stretch of a marathon, and I'm almost finished with all of this baby craziness. Like when I was planning my wedding, it all built up to The Wedding Day. Of course I was looking forward to the marriage just as much as the day, but all the preparation we did didn't extend beyond that one day. Babies are different--all this prep work and counting down won't all end in one big birth day celebration. Kind of awesome.

Re: Really we're all just at the beginning. Random thoughts :)
and that is when you really lose your marbles and starts screaming at your DH over nothing. You fight over parenting styles because you can't stand to hear your child cry, but the H thinks they need to scream for alittle bit. You tell H what baby needs because you have been with them all day while H is at work, but they want to do what they think baby needs not what you know baby needs. Eventually you do start to like each other again, but you will still have arguements over discipline and other teaching/raising techniques.
But its all worth it....
What a great reflection!
This is part of the reason I'm trying to enjoy these last couple weeks of pregnancy and time with my husband. Everyone seems so shocked when I say I wouldn't mind if I go late, and I am beyond excited to meet my lil man, but this really is just the beginning and I'll take all the prep time I can get!
