lately i've been feeling like a somewhat strangely oversized, clumsy and forgetful, waddling duck. it is really quite amazing how i can go from feeling so in wonder and awe about the baby to feeling like a strange new creature of sorts who can no longer bend over and tie her shoes without hurting herself and making strange noises. actually, those feelings are often going on simultaneously. i was talking to my friend jenni this morning about how difficult it is to think that life will happen beyond the moment we are in. she was pregnant. now she is taking care of her very real little girl day in and day out. she isn't pregnant anymore. amazing. everything that seems to be happenning in our life right now revolves around preparing for the day when we will no longer be "expecting" asher's arrival. yet, my mind is prone to believe i will be waddling and pregnant everyday until i die or jesus comes back.
