Reality?

I am just about 36 weeks along with this pregnancy, meaning that labor won't be stopped from here on out. That is such a strange and wonderful and scary thing to think about. Lars and I have of course been preparing for the baby to come....but then again we have prepared for a lot of things that didn't happen...such as moves or vacations we were wanting to take. This is way different though...we know it is going to happen!

I have a list sitting here on the desk next to me of all the things that we need to bring with us to the birthing center when i go into labor. People keep saying that its not a bad idea to go ahead and gather things together...but instead I just look at the list, scratch my head and walk off thinking---this is so weird!!! I wonder if something magic just happens and then it will be all seem real. But i think that for Lars and i, reality is often and after effect! I guess a month from now when we’re awakened at 3 am with a hungry muchkin needing fed, then we’ll get reality!
