Life moves pretty fast

Everyone who saw me over the weekend commented that the baby had dropped. I knew this because I can eat more, but it feels like the kid is about to fall out anytime I stand up to walk. I'm also feeling much more tired, and not like myself, so I will be happy if this means labor is around the corner. Unfortunately, the consensus is that I'm going to go into labor Saturday morning during Mike's 30th birthday party. That's the one time I want to avoid, so I'm sure that's the time things will happen. Watch this space for updates.

On Saturday my brother and his fiancee graduated from law school. Due to my condition I wasn't able to attend, but we're so excited for Jerry and Tammy and their bright future together. It seems like just yesterday he was starting school, and I was laughing that Evan would be four when he finished. Now here we are, Ev is four and Jerry has his J.D. Over the next year he'll be busy taking the bar, studying for his LLM at NYU, and probably helping a minimal amount with wedding planning. I'm sure it's a lot to be dealing with in such a short period of time.

We saw our new nephew again yesterday, and he's gotten so big. It feels like he was just born last week, but he's 7 weeks old already. And his older brother is two, and I can hardly believe that he's grown so much so fast. When you see these kids, it makes time feel like it's just flying by--I even notice how much Ev has grown, and that's hard because I'm with him every day. And all of the girls I've been pregnant with are coming towards the end of their pregnancies too, and it's crazy to think of all the new lives we're going to come to know over the next few months. Things change so quickly around here these days, and it's hard to keep up.

But for all the changes, and such a fast pace, we're slowing down a bit and waiting. Our time is coming.

I've been feeling out of touch with the world lately. I'm definitely making a little cocoon for myself as we prepare to welcome the new baby--I'm nesting, and spending time at home, and generally just being quiet. This waiting feeling is a weird one, and though we're trying to be calm, both Mike and I are a little on edge because of it. Everyone who saw me over the weekend commented that the baby had dropped.
