{7} More Days

Time is flying. If life were a stop watch, I would hit the stop button, not for long but for just a few seconds, to stop and take a deep breath. To look around this life of mine and freeze frame everything that surrounds me in that 30 seconds because life is flying by and flying oh so fast.

In seven short days, we will welcome our new little man to this world. I am filled with an abundance of emotions. So many, in fact, it's difficult to formulate the words to even express how I feel. Yet the clock is ticking, and seven days will be here in the shortest whisper of breath.

As we walked through this mornings routine, I wanted to freeze frame my own little moments.

For my Monkey, I realized that while we are in a sticky spot of her exerting her independence, it is also a marvelous thing to watch occur. Especially this morning, as she reminded me of all the things (book orders and privacy folders) to which I have yet to turn into her class. I think my pregnant self is slacking in these last few moments.

And for my Laneydoo, her language is developing so drastically. Yet, today, she still sounds like a baby. I know that sound is fleeting and one day soon I will wake up to a normal toddler voice...sigh!

And in just seven short days, we will enter our new season...
