My weekend begins!

It is finally..FINALLY.. the weekend. Yea! Not that I can really say I'm going to have a "relaxing and fun" weekend. I have project upon project upon paper to finish for this up coming week of classes. At least this is a three day weekend & I should have more than enough time (knock on wood) to complete everything. Hence the early start... ugh lol.

Last night Kevin & I went to Applebees with the inital plan of dinner and a movie (we received movie passes from his brother for Christmas). We were going to see the new Pink Panther movie. Unfortunately, the wait for dinner was long enough to make us forget the plans for the movie, but we decided that we would go tonight so that I could get a break from homework & we don't get stuck inside all weekend. So I have something to look forward to tonight :) . We had a good dinner & conversation naturally turned to our baby's who's birth seems to be fast approaching. I started to tell him the things I've been thinking about lately just to get his laid-back nonchalant response, "It's gonna be cool!" What? LOL Come on! This is HUGE~ it deserves more than a "this is cool" remark. ::SIGH:: I know he understands the significance of what we are doing & what is coming but I think things have finally been setting in that for me that I am going to be a MOMMY. Not that I didn't know or that it was a sudden surprise, but things have been setting in~ how do people be know how to take care of an infant? I have a lot of experience with kids; babysitting all through high school, daycare in a gym for years, teachers aid in a preschool, and even a nanny for twin 4-year-old girls, but no real expierence with a newborn! It was strange for me to think about how in a few months (ok, 5 give or take) it is going to be me, Kevin, and OUR BABY! It won't be the two of us at night anymore, hanging out, watching tv, maybe having a drink or something... we'll have a BABY to take care of.. to feed.. to bathe.. to change... AAAHHHH! These are not things I haven't thought about, but I think it's finally begining to feel real and I'm a little scared. Ok, that's a bit of an understatement- I am scared. There's going to be a little life depending on me. That is a responsibility I've never taken on before (other than dogs or pets lol but this is a wee-bit different). I hope my "maternal instinct" kicks in because I really am scared.

Ok, well I think it is probably time for me to get down to business and do some serious homework. Hope you have a great weekend! ~Kristina
