35 weeks

35 weeks pregnant. It feels funny to be at this stage. Early on in the pregnancy I counted the time religiously with the goal of 40 weeks far in the distance. Now, when people ask me how long I say, "5 weeks if on time, 3 if early, 7 if late". I think the reality of it being any day now is starting to hit me.

We had my car detailed (cleaned) this last weekend and it looks so wonderful. We thought that one last cleaning before we get to experience the joy of cheerios in the seats, cracker crumbs in the side wells and toys and books strewn about was a good idea. I'm looking forward to driving down the street and being able to look in my backseat and see our smiling baby with us. Finally a family of three and not two.

I said to Jon the other day that I had just realized that for most of 30 some years we had lived two separate lives, with different experiences, families and travels and that now, in a matter of a month a lovely little being that is half of him and half of me would be walking the planet. A perfect combination of the love we feel for each other and our collective lives all in one person. I try not to put expectations on our baby but what I do know is that he/she will be so loved by us all and that no matter what happens in the world, SBJ will be there for another generation.
