Hang Time

I've come to realize that my life is about to drastically change any moment now. So, I've been cherishing the moments that I've gotten with those in my life lately knowing that soon things will be different. 

Blane has been my top priority for the past nine months at least :). One of my cousins (who has four kids) shared with me the other month that one of the hardest times in her marriage was right after their first child was born. Suddenly they were both tired and stressed about being good parents and she said that communication became harder between the two of them. I am worried about this. Hey-maybe it'll be nothing and things will be fine, but I also know that I do not function well without sleep and I worry how that will affect my marriage and Blane. You can pray for that for me :).

So I've been cherishing the time that Blane and I have been able to spend together more lately. Even just the mundane things like cleaning the house together or doing laundry or talking at the end of the day.

I've also had many of my nearest and dearest who have wanted to share a meal or just hang out. The other day I had a nice lunch with my dear friend Den, who left work just to spend time with me. Court came over and helped me organize some of the baby's clothes. Dawn and I were able to connect over dinner one night and the same with Meliss too. 

Blane and I tagged along on an anniversary dinner celebration for my parents and Uncle Mark and Auntie Ruth last weekend. It was neat to talk and hear them reminisce about 35 and 34 years of marriage, respectively.

After youth group last Saturday night, Pat had his own "pregnancy craving" and so Blane, him and I drove down to the South Bay to have ramen at 11:30 at night. Not something any of us would normally do, but it was a spontaneous fun time with a good friend.

Next week my sister will be here all week long. I am looking forward to spending some quality time with her, hopefully before this little guy makes his debut :). 

Seven days and counting from today. Whew! Can you believe it? 

Me hardly either :)
