A few weeks back, Chuck and I were packing up our stuff for the hospital. Always good to have it ready to go. Well, I had a meltdown that night. I was in an utter panic. Here are some of the things that I either said or thought:
- “Oh my heavens…we’re actually going to have a baby!”
- “This thing moving in me is going to come out and we have to take care of it forever!”
- “It will never be just Chuck & Andi again.”
- “What were we thinking?!”
All of this being spoken while sobbing. My poor husband had surely thought I had lost my mind. Although, I am sure it wasn’t the first time during this pregnancy he has thought that! But I eventually made it through the panic. Knowing that all of this is such a blessing and we are so excited to have little Thumper be a part of our family. But I didn’t come to this realization without having one other tiny freak-out-moment….
I HAD to put a stuffed bunny into our car seat and I HAD to do it NOW because I was sure I didn’t know how and I couldn’t have this baby without trying it on a stuffed bunny!
Seriously….I am insane. And somehow doing this made me feel better. Wow. Thumper is going to see this some day and completely roll her eyes at me!
