Slowly

I guess I didn't do much posting last week.

It's hard to explain how I'm feeling right now.

My best attempt is to say that time is moving very quickly while I spend my days (quite literally) moving very slow.

One step at a time with my big boy by my side.

At 37 weeks, I'm running out of room for our newest babe and running low on energy.

I feel the need to get things accomplished. At the same time, my body reminds me to take it easy and rest. My heart tells me to spend as much one-on-one time with Lane as possible.

So, that's what I have done. I've learned to go to bed with dishes in the sink, cars on the floor and clean laundry in a basket waiting to be folded and put away.

Eventually, everything gets done.

For now, I've got just a few more weeks to enjoy life with just Lane.

Last week, we read books. Snuggled in bed. Played cars. Visited with friends. Talked a lot about what the future holds for our family.

And at times, took baby steps in preparation for our newest family member.

This time, I know that all a baby needs upon his arrival home is a few warm pieces of clothing, a small spot to sleep, plenty of time to nurse and an abundance of love.

I know we can provide all of that for him.

The rest will come when the time is right.

Even his name.
