It's Real

(Please note: Commentary added by Mitch)

My work threw me an adorable baby shower (because they know as well as I do that he is an adorable baby--HoTtEsT FeTuS EvEr!) and I decided that I'm extremely spoiled. We got all sorts of blankets, clothes, socks, pj's, diapers, an umberella stroller, & bathroom items (and some stuff for the BaBy too!). When I got home that night with a car load of stuff, Mitch was freaking out (in a very manly way--"oh my heck...bLuE BoOtIeS!"...hey, I didn't know Trish was here). He went through all of the gifts and we both decided that this felt very real... we are really having a baby (or some life form--nanu, nanu!) Not that the pregnancy hasn't felt real - it's probably the biggest reality check I've had so far in my life (ya, it was about the size of one of those oversized lottery checks). However, it's been fun to have material items to show me this is for a little person (its confirmed, he'a a MiDgEt); this is for my son (I hope its mine too), not just some alien taking over my body (unconfirmed) and stretching out my stomach to no end. Soon I won't just be waking up because I'm uncomfortable and need to use the bathroom (she'll be waking up because 1,000's of spiders are crawling all over her body, oh and...) I'll be waking up to hold, nourish and care for our baby. It's absolutely thrilling (thriller...thriller night and no ones going to save you from the beast about to strike) and nerve wracking at the same time. We CaN't WaIt!! (True dat!)
