I'm Ready!

I had a period of pretty steady contractions, about 7-10 minutes apart this afternoon. They faded again, but they made me realize that I'm ready. For this melancholic there will never be that moment of perfect preparedness. This old house will never be totally dust-free. There will always be some sort of Lego clutter or a Harry Potter book to trip over. All I can say is that I'm as ready for this as one can be, given the circumstances; given all that has happened in the last few months. It's not perfect, but all has been prepared with love.

I think Brent knows this as well.

And so I wait...

P.S. It's not (yet) too late to enter Another Giveaway.

I have just found your blog, and reckon you may be a little too busy to respond right now, but wanted to say good luck with having your baby. Your blog actually emits serenity (to me anyway) and I just have this feeling that you are going to be just fine ... can't wait to hear about and see pics of your little one. Love hugs, light and strength to you xxxx
