38 weeks....

Yesterday, on the stairmaster, an article in Parents magazine directed me to listen to the podcast Pregnancy Confidential; each episode zooms in on one week of pregnancy.  Naturally, I tuned into week 38.  The hosts captured my attention immediately: "Week 38: You're probably feeling pretty desperate to get that baby out, and really terrified of the possibility that the baby might come out."  They hit the nail on the head.  I described this idea to Mike, and he said, "Well, not terrified, right?"  I suppose he is right, "terrified" is not exactly the right word.  It's more like, soon our lives will be forever changed.  It's a big deal.

I feel very similar to how I felt as I waited for Misha, varying between:
a) I can't WAIT to be NOT PREGNANT!
b) Trying to stay in present in the moment- wrapping up the school year and appreciating time with Misha and Mike...the miracle feeling elbows and knees pushing on my rib cage.
c) Peaking over the edge and picturing that little newborn in my arms.
