Almost a month ago



Sorry folks it has been awhile. Trying to love on and care for a toddler, find a new home and prepare for an infant,my time is tight.

We have narrowed down the home search to a top 2. At least for now. As well as a name for our son due in 43 days. Well at least it is almost chosen. Seth Benjamin.

We went for a tour of the hospital where Seth will be born and so Elizabeth could see where I would be. It was very emotional for me for a lot of reasons. One is recoginizing that yes I will have an infant around. The feeling tied to that is anxiety in regards to lack of sleep and feeling a disconnect from the rest of the world. At least this time I know it will end. The second feeling was realizing that Elizabeth's life will be flipped upside down and it will no longer be the three of us. And just the idea of rebellion in her short life makes me nervous. We have done really well with potty training and I don't even carry diapers around for her anymore. Needless to say anxiety I never experienced before Elizabeth was born I am now experiencing. And wishing family lived nearby. Knowing someone who has already seen you at your worst is available is something to be missed.
