Reality

With 23 days to go (give-or-take) it starts becoming a little more real.

Which is good of course.

Except when you start thinking.

Oh yeah. There's going to be some super-painful contractions. Oh yeah. Back labor last time was excruciating. You decided you didn't want an epidural. Oh yeah. You're going to have to push that kiddo out. That really sucked last time. Oh yeah. And then you have the adjustment of breastfeeding. That pretty much sucked last time. And then you have recovery. Weeks of recovery. You couldn't even walk to the mailbox for like 2 weeks. That super-sucked.

Of course it's worth it. But I'm glad it's the last time I'll do those things.

Then it's just life as a family of 4.
