near:
- enjoying our birthday flowers, and the thought of celebrating our birthdays together in the future
- beginning to feel “bluesy”, and focusing more on self-care
- talking about the details of the birth with my husband late into the night
far:
- excited to have our birth tub in the house, ready and waiting
- feeling weepy and cross, dealing with end-of-pregnancy hormones
- trying to brainstorm all the things that need to be done in the next month and a half…and feeling like I’m coming up short

All is temporary and each moment begins anew. Remembering that has really helped me get through the myriad challenges of motherhood. I love the flowers in both photos.

Oh I wish I could come over to both of you and give you hugs!
Please be easy on yourselves. You are doing fine! The most important thing is you and the babies, everything else will fall into place. I promise.
