Expecting

The past week we made it to 35 weeks and the doctor told us that at 36 weeks we are in the clear for these girls to be born! I've noticed that suddenly everything seems to be moving in slow motion. The days are long and peaceful. As if I am holding my breath and that the entire world is suspended in anticipation...waiting...waiting...waiting. Two new lives are on the verge of beginning...on the very precipice of becoming-- moving from their tiny quiet watery world into this big beautiful and unpredictable one... from being hidden to being known. Its the truest meaning of expecting that I've ever known.
