It was a fun, but hectic day. Trying to keep up with friends who have buns in the oven, but none on the ground quite yet. It seemed like a reasonable idea to them for everyone to sit in the beer garden. But, all I heard was, "Wait, we're supposed to what?" Sit...in...one...place. Outside? With so much action whizzing around us? Yeah, that isn't really a thing for Piper. She wanted to EXPLORE! Run free! And the whole day gave me an epiphany.
Here it is: I really need to enjoy this time as a family of three because having two is going to be a DOOZY. And I mean, HARD. With two kids, there will be no taking turns. No one person who gets to keep a normal conversation with our friends while the other half runs through crowds like a maniac, saving our kid from herself. Today, keeping up with Piper was tough enough (the temperature could have also magnified all problems).
And while pregnancy is no treat, at least our little guy is having his needs met (have I mentioned yet, that we're having a BOY) with minimal effort (other than the usual weird cramping, back pain, restless sleep, unending thirst and hunger) from me. I need to SLOW DOWN, RELAX, and ENJOY this time. It will never be like this again:)
