The locusts are singing their song again, reminding us all that summer is coming to an end. And with the end of summer comes change and challenge. 118 names to learn. Papers to grade. Kids to inspire. And of course, the return of the alarm clock. It's been off for three months, just the way I like it.
Some wake-ups are easier than others. If you've ever left before dawn for a vacation, or had a first day of school, you know exactly what I mean. See, when you have something to look forward to, waking up is a breeze.
So it's no wonder that I've been springing out of bed for the past two weeks. I have something to look forward to, something I've wanted for a very, very long time.
I am pregnant.
We aren't really telling people yet; it's still very early. I know we're not out of the woods, but being in the woods by yourself is lonely. Very lonely. So I'm inviting you in. (If you know me in real life and you read this blog, shhhhhh.)
After wanting this for so long, we're over the moon, but we are both very nervous. Nervous and anxious. Excited. Terrified. Blessed. Thankful. Apprehensive. Unbelieving. Awe-struck. Scared. The list goes on and on.
I know that sometime in the near future, I may not be leaping out of bed. But today, my friends, I am. Today, I am pregnant.
I just stumbled across your blog tonight, it looks like I picked a good time!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Personally, I think the best thing about blogging is that whether you're in the woods or out of the woods you never have to be alone. (So congratulations!!!!)
Molly and I just read this together and both teary. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
