Adventures in PreggoLand




So, here we are. About 8 months in and growing more and more impatient by the second. I'm ready for her to make her grand entrance! And, of course, I say this aloud and everybody pelts me with "nooo you want her in there as long as possible" comments/stink-eyes. So I'll clarify, obviously I want her fully developed. Sheesh. I'd just also really like to stop dreaming of her and obssessing over what she'll be like...and actually get to hold her, feel her, and get to know her.

I'll admit it. I'm in love. In love with a tiny bundle I've never even met (who packs a mean punch and a powerful roundhouse kick by the way).

Someone, a mother of two, told me the other day not to be surprised when she comes and I don't immediately love her and feel connected to her. WTF?! I nodded and smiled--as I've learned to do frequently as of late... when people drop their nonsensical ridiculousness on me--but are you serious??? I already love her more than life itself (even more than Louboutins or literature!) and feel inextricably linked to her! I can't even imagine the swell of emotion I'll feel when she actually gets here! It's amazing how strongly one can feel about something that still seems so abstract. I mean, sure, I feel her moving and acting crazy in there.. But she's almost like an appendage: a portion of my body that thrives and lives but is not independent of me. It's like loving a piece of myself that decided to develop a mind of it's own (Actually that's pretty much exactly what's happened.).

Which got me thinking: Who are these crazies that are allowed to produce spawn these days? You see them...slinging their kids around in Wal-Mart. Cursing their babies out in the line at Walgreens. Driving with their kids sitting on the damn dashboard. It seems any and every body can, and has, knocked out a kid or two. I figure we've got to at least be better than those douchebags...so we'll be fine....

Right?

I love how you have the preggo stance...but you're still so tiny! You and Alan will be great parents! And I'll be a great aunt...it's settled!

I can't wait to meet her either!
