two hundred and eighty-seven days

Here we are, right on the verge of something life changing and yet life is still the same.  It could happen later today, tomorrow or later this week, suddenly our family of two becomes a family of three.  You'd think after being pregnant for what seems like forever (really only forty-one weeks) my mind would be able to understand this concept and yet I don't.... will I ever really?

These last few days have felt like an eternity, yet I know looking back these past nine months will seem like they've flown by.


Motherhood, giving up yourself and learning a new understanding of patience.
