Thirty-seven Days

Well, it won't be long now until Baby Peigh arrives. It is amazing to think how quickly this time has past. I know, I know - you veteran parents out there would like to inform us how life will only continue to speed up. It is important to note however that the pace we are currently running at seems quick enough. Thank goodness pregnancy allows people to ease into this whole thing. I can not imagine what it would be like if a baby just arrived on our front porch one day as the old "stork" tales suggest. Five more weeks and our home will be full of new sounds.

To prepare ourselves for the reality of this all, Pilar and I have been talking to one another in terms that suggest the urgency of Baby Peigh's arrival. We'll say, "in five weeks when the baby is here," or "let's put that together for when the baby is here in 37 days." When you start phrasing the reality in actual numbers that can easily be reduced it all seems to come to a remarkably clear focus.

So for now, I will leave you to your own thoughts. However, I will check back in and make another post when we are but 36 days or maybe 27 or perhaps 15 days from planning Baby Peigh's birthday! Wow!
