We bought "Baby on the Way" by the Dr Sears. It's way too old for ds, but I figured the pictures would give us ideas on how to talk about the baby. This excerpt killed me, "...As the baby gets bigger and bigger, your mommy's lap gets smaller and smaller. But there's always room for you on your mommy's lap. Just ask her; she'll show you." Man, it took me 15 minutes just to type that, I keep crying so hard I can't see the keyboard.
Or we were in the bookstore and saw that Miracle of Life book, that has all the pictures of the fetus and then the newborn pictures. I remember when ds was that little and I get all teary-eyed. And then what really gets me going is when I think about how little he really is and how am I going to give all the same love and attention to this little one. Ok, I'm just bawling here, so I'll go.
Yeah - when I'm pregnant I blame it on the hormones, but I've found since having ds I've become more emotional overall, I used to be a CNN/news junkie, no more, can't stand all the unfortunate stories. So here I am, crying about my lap dissappearing while ds mashes beef fried rice into his lap while moving from the bowl - to his table - to his bowl - to the table....ahhh, back to reality!
