You know those moments where life hits you like a ton of bricks? You fall back bewildered, surprised, and shaken. You don’t feel the after effects all at once. It just starts as a tiny tingle from the impact spot and moves like a wave over your body until you realize what just happened.
A ton of bricks just hit you.
And then you start to cry. Not because it hurts but because something just knocked you over, and said Hey-Hi-You-in-there-Hello-Wake-up.
This happened to me last night.
I saw a photograph of Nathan and I.
And, it woke me up.
There were only two smiley faces in that photo.
Not three.
There were only two bodies to worry about, feed, clothe, entertain, love.
Not three.
There was a lot of familiarity in this photo.
Peace.
And, I started to tingle from my heart outward.
And, I started to cry because my mind was able to finally fully realize.
We are going to be parents.
We are going to be three.
We are going to be unfamiliar and uncharted.
And so I replied Hey-Hi-You-Hello….I-see-you.
There’s really no need to knock me over like that.
But thank you.
I love you so much sis. When it come to new things in life you have always embraced the good and have always found a way to work through it. This adventure you and Nathan will soon meet is going to be a roller coaster of love, tears, laughter, poop, more smiles and people to support the both of you. I know I will always be there for the three of you at all possible. You two will be such caring and beautiful parents. Let the adventure begin sis!!! It will be ride that you will never forget
