The Baby Is Coming...

The baby knows. It just knows.

It knows that the time is near. It is moving towards the exit. It knows that this part of the journey is coming to an end...that a new chapter is ahead. A new road to its freedom.

We won't be one anymore. We won't share what we are sharing now. I won't feel its every movement. It won't hear my every word...or feel my every emotion.

The baby will depart and arrive all at once. What a strange concept. But that is exactly what it will do. And we will meet it face to face for the first time, even though we've been living with it for almost 40 weeks now.

Pregnancy has been quite a journey. And soon, it will be only a memory for me.

The baby knows the time is near :)

I am so excited for you!!!! Amazing how it just sort of happens. I loved being pregnant, but holding that baby in your own arms is another joy altogether.

We are all very excited to welcome little baby Koenig into the family. You and Ben must be full of emotion and excitement, as you should, because there is nothing more special than to finally see your baby for the first time and go through that wonderful experience. It won't be long now!! Can't wait to hear from you!!
Love, Mom (grandma!!)
