This seems to be the theme this week. I am growing, Rylee's growing, my family is growing. One word sums it up: uncomfortable. Both good and bad are indicative emotions of this time so we "just keep swimming." There are several areas I/we are growing lately:
My body: I feel like I am about to pop and yet I still have 2 months to go. It is a task to put on my socks and I keep having to move further away from the steering wheel. I went to the hospital this week due to some weird contractions...I suppose my uterus is just practicing...?
Rylee: She is a little ahead of herself, growing to almost 3 weeks ahead of her gestational age...slow down little girl!! Mom and Dad need you to stay put for as long as possible.
Lifestyle: I went from a cute VW bug to a cute-but-still-a-mommy-car Subaru SUV this week. With a new car comes shrinking play money for dates yet increasing excitement around seeing Rylee in my rear-view mirror soon.
Scott and I have been crabby because in the mix of buy, fixing, preparing, growing and minimizing--we miss each other. I just don't want to lose us in the mix of all this newness. So we have decided to claim back our Sun-Mon weekend for our own and limit the amount of "business" we accomplish. It is so easy to get careless with your most important relationship (second only to God). Just talking about, I get this sense of longing and determination to make time for my husband.
In the midst of the growing, we will go back to the little things that got us here...
