Spring Break has begun. A week of rest and rejuvenation. I've been fighting a sinus infection for over a week now. I really should have gone to the doctor, but didn't put two and two together until my friend Amy said something at dinner last night. I'm going on Monday to get a general physical and if the doctor thinks I need it, some antibiotics.
My whole world is viewed so differently right now. Being sick for the past week made me think about how it would be to be sick and have a baby. A friend posted on his facebook that there are 13 Sundays until summer staffers come to training where I used to work. That means I could have a baby in less than 13 Sundays. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Trips to the store now are viewed with, what would this be like with a baby. Lazy Saturdays of sleeping in are enjoyed before they become a distant memory. My time being my own is thought about and rested in and enjoyed. These days are coming to a close.
This whole process has gone so much faster and so much smoother than I thought it would. And I feel inadequate. Oh so inadequate. But then I stop and think - I'm not doing this on my own. I have amazing friends and family surrounding me. A roommate who is willing to join the insanity. But most of all, I have a God who is more than adequate. He is excellent. And I have a feeling I am going to learn so much more about who HE is through this than anything else.
So I'll accept these new lenses. This new world view. And embrace it. They may not be rose colored, but it should be fun to see where it all ends up.

Just remember, if you need tips on how to do the everyday things of life, like shopping, with a baby; I am just a phone call away. And I do those things with two kids and soon to be three. It is an adventure, but one that IS doable!
