You've Come A Long Way Baby

I know I haven't blogged in a million years.  Things around here have been busy.  I just wanted to let everyone know that things are more than fine around here.  It seems strange to say considering that it wasn't very long ago we'd almost given up hope on getting to this point, but here we are.

I'm sitting here typing this with my hospital bag by the door days away from delivering our tiny little angel.  It's strange to feel like you can't wait to meet someone you feel like you already know.  I wonder what she'll be like.  I wonder if she'll be the way I picture her in my head.  She already seems to have such a little personality, and I don't know that I've ever loved something as much as I love her.

Honestly, as long as she is healthy the rest is just frosting on the birthday cake.

Bucko and I are fine.  We are both excited and nervous about bringing home little Buckaroo.  He adores her, and she already adores him.  When he talks to my stomach she moves to get closer and will only kick for him.  I love watching him love on us.  He's going to be an amazing dad.  

We are very connected as a couple right now in spite of not having our DD safety net.  There is a physical intimacy that we both admit to missing.  Things are difficult when there are big bellies, swollen feet, and other pregnancy fun to work around.  Despite that, we seem to just be settled and rolling along as far as every day life goes. We haven't talked about how things will work after baby.  He has mentioned there are certain physical activities he is itching to do again, but we both seem comfortable with just figuring it out as we go.

We both seem okay with not knowing how things are going to work next.  Everything will be different, but I think this experience has given us confidence in ourselves as a couple.  We may not know what we are doing as parents.  There is nothing like having a baby to show you that you don't know anything about having a baby, but we feel good about figuring it out together.
