Next Month!

The official due date is next month. I'm anxious to meet the baby, and at the same time, I'm ready for her to arrive yet. It's week 34, so if she can wait at least three more weeks, it would be good. Also the hormones remain at high levels. I find myself getting misty-eyed over how generous others are.

Arrangements at home coming together. I've delved into the closet in the baby's room. It is horrifying to see how much has accumulated in that closet over the last five years. My ex-husband has been very sweet about helping me clean it out. We gathered all of those things when we were together. It is easier to make decisions about where the debris should go with him. Just when I think I'm over the divorce, I get another wave of forgiveness and gratitude that we can be friends and that we aren't married any more. He seems to feel the same way. No one ever told me that love can change into a wonderful friendship.

Baby gifts keep arriving. At least once a week, I open my locker at work and find a package of baby goodies. I don't want to ruin my professional demeanor, but everyone loves to look at the baby clothes and coo along with me. The professional behavior might take time to reconstruct.

2010 has all the indications of a very exciting year.
