Well, we’ve had a pretty good weekend. Yesterday we did some stuff around the house working on the tile and just general putzing around, and then we went to the hockey game. We had great seats and were closer to the ice than we’ve been before, which was really cool. You know what else is really cool? She’s on first shift this week. That means she’s still here! And she’ll be here every night this week! I’m so happy.
Today we went to the grocery (and I managed to stay focused enough to not drive her completely crazy), then headed off to OM’s house for her annual Easter dinner. It’s a large affair that is always interesting, and it’s great to see everyone and eat lots of yummy food. Too much yummy food. Oh well. While we were there Firefly’s aunt, whom we had left a message for earlier, called back so we were able to tell her our good news and chat for a little bit.
I can’t believe we’re at 9 weeks as of yesterday! It’s so strange coming at this from the other side: a mom-to-be without any of the symptoms and changes that pregnancy brings. I know she’s pregnant–I’ve seen the proof–but for me, other than having a very tired wife who occasionally mentions that her tummy is feeling a little off nothing has changed. It’s a bit surreal. I know she’s dreading it, but honestly I can’t wait for her to start showing, and to be able to feel little kicks. And I can’t wait to meet this little one.
