The extra bedroom

When I moved here a little over a year ago (also known as the day of the flying piano), I knew what I wanted to do with the extra bedroom. It was in the plans, had been for a while, but I had to make sure all the parts worked well, all the ducks were in a row, etc. For the past 2 years, I had been preparing my body and my life to make it ready for this. It involved tests, medication changes, big job decisions, changes in my personal life and friendships.

I was told it might be difficult. I was also told it was impossible, too hard, I wouldn't be able to make it, it was selfish, I shouldn't do that. But I wanted a baby. And since Mr. Right never made an appearance, and since I was getting older (I turned the big 4-0 this May), there wasn't any time to waste.

It took three tries to make my beautiful baby boy. He is now set to arrive within the next two weeks. I wanted to post more during the whole process, but it wasn't as easy as expected and I was way too tired! But I look forward to sharing this big, crazy adventure with my blip friends!
