I was going to talk about leggings, but I am not ready to move past yesterday's event....

Monday morning, Celia and I both woke up (as we have been every morning for 9 or so months) as pregnant ladies.

This morning, I woke up as a pregnant lady, and Celia woke up (!!!) as a mama.

It is still so hard to believe. And though I am weeks (days?) away from the same transition, it still seems so far for us. Like suddenly Celia & Joe are like, way ahead of us.

I used to see these things as so... permanent. You see a pregnant lady walking down the street and I would think of her pregnancy as a state of being, not just what she is now. Also the parents of very young babies. They are the parents of very young babies and that is their identity in life. Not just what they are for a few fleeting moments.

I am only now grasping how temporary this all is.

But all of this is a digression. Really, I am here to say just how excited for Celia & her family I am. She is an amazing woman, and I want to wish her a wonderful first week of getting to know her baby, and healing.

I also want to take a moment to note that in C's absence expect posting to be on the light side, while it is just me. Then when my little guy decides to come, we have some really really excellent guest posts lined up from some of our favorite mama's around the web!
