Patience and presence

I'm feeling big and I know that it's coming to an end. I'm trying to be patient, and enjoy the last days of our family as it is at this point in time. I know that this birth will be a wonderful and much anticipated event for all of us, but at the same time, there is a bitter-sweet feeling since things will obviously never again be the same.

I'm really trying to not rush through the last days of this pregnancy, to be present, and to enjoy special time with Maya and Haim (separately and together). Extra time in the bed nursing with Maya (who insists that my milk tastes the same as always, even though I can see it's now colostrum), a couple of fun craft projects, and lots of cuddling and watching TV on the couch. Also date nights with Haim...which I know will probably be in short supply for the next year or 2. Of course we will do these things after the baby is born...but understandably it will be different too.
This truly is a wonderful time for us.
