a blur

That's what this week
Has been.

A complete blur.

I think that happens
When one discovers that something
Life changing
Is about to happen.

Yes, I've been through this before
But this is a whole new ballgame

This week has been
Full of appointments
Full of telling people the news
Full of catching myself as I
Go to toss my very smart 2 year old
Up in the air
Then stopping and altering play
Full of "wow's" and "I can't wait's"
Full of exhaustion

That's the kicker.
I don't remember being as tired
As early last time
Maybe because my days were spent
Behind a desk last time
And not running after
And entertaining a toddler
I actually konked out for 2 hours yesterday
During Lil' Miss's naptime
I've NEVER done that
Even when she was a newborn

So, I hope you'll excuse
The odd absence from here
Now and again
