Thinking Out Loud

During the past few days I have felt like I am living in a dream. I guess it could be because so many things are changing in my life right now. So many things are happening that I have only ever occupied my dreams. I sit here day after day and try to convince myself that I really am going to be a Mom in less than 4 weeks time. I'm pretty sure nothing is registering up in that vast empty space of a brain right now. I feel like I'm going crazy.....I'm going to be a Mom!
I went to visit a lady in the hospital today. Her nurse told me that he has delivered 15 babies, and then proceeded to offered his guess on Audrey's arrival date, which was 7-10 days considering how low I'm carrying. I had to giggle a little as I left the hospital. He doesn't know that having a baby early is not in my genes, nor do I want it to be. Maybe I'm carrying lower because I'm tall, but if this is low I would hate to see what high is.

More news. If you didn't already know we are moving again just days after I'm supposed to have the baby, which brings all sorts of complications by itself. But it would be so much harder if there weren't so many people willing to help out here.
I've grown so close to so many people. I wish that I could bring them all home with me. I don't think I have ever had so many great friends of so many different ages.
However, I'm so excited to be going home. I'm already envisioning arriving at the state line. I can't wait to actually see what Fall is supposed to look like.

So glad you have some wonderful friends in Texas. It makes it easier having you so far away when we know there are people there who love you and are looking out for you. We are looking forward to having you home in a few weeks. We are on standby to help in any way we can.

7-10 days... So today! :) I know you are hoping that nurse was right.
It is like a dream. Sometimes I can't believe I am going to be a mom either. I wonder if it seems more dreamlike for us because of the fertility treatments and the years waiting, but I imagine that it feels pretty much like a dream for anyone. It is such a perfect dream though (except for the heads and feet in ribs and such...).
I hope Audrey come soon - so I can meet her before you guys go back to Utah. (and so it would be easier for you with the move and all)
