Due Tomorrow.....

You know what I have realised this morning - while leisurely eating my toast and jam for breakfast - after waking up at 6.. and cuddling with Stu for 30 mins.. and then watching the news in bed until he left for work at 7.30.... I'm not going to be able to do this for much longer......

It scares me to think of how much is going to change when those pains start and we have to head to the hospital. I know the benefits of having a child will FAR outweigh the negatives (although I may require reminding sometimes!!!) but I like it just being Stu and I! I like the split decisions of lets go out to dinner instead of cook - or i'll just duck to the shops quickly.. just need my purse and phone... It's not going to be so simple anymore!!!

I was pretty lazy yesterday too... Went back to bed and read for a couple of hours after Stu had left for work.. then watched some TV... then ate... then had a bath... I could have easily cooked something for dinner last night.. but it was just easier to go to the local for the two for one dinner!

I'll be going from washing twice a week (sometimes only once!) to daily... the sleep pattern isn't going to change too much cause I'm up every two hours without fail to pee anyway.. but it's not like that during the day.... I can rest in the day time! Most of our meals will have to be either quick and easy, or slow cooked so that they look after themselves... or.. I'll just spend Sundays cooking and we'll reheat during the week! I'll probably end up with my groceries being delivered cause it's just too much effort to go to Woolies to get them myself! Checking the mail will be a 'Stu Job' on his way home from work!

All the apparent negatives aside... I am soooo looking forward to meeting this little man. I can't wait to see him and hold him and love him (more than I already do) I can't wait to learn about his personality, and to teach him things, and see whether he's picked up Stu's or my brains... (God I hope it's Stu's!!!) I also can't wait til he sleeps through for his first night... I think that is going to be just AWESOME!!!! (will be a long time coming though - and I'm prepared for that!) I look forward to seeing all of my close friends and family become part of his life - I can't wait to see him smile when he starts to recognise faces... I can't wait to have our first family holidays and camping trips - and realise that we are now our own family unit.. we don't just slot into our parents lives anymore - we are the parents now! It's mind boggling.

I'll leave here in pain.. and come home with a little miracle!
