We've got less than two months before Space Shuttle Alex is scheduled for landing. Scary! But we are making a lot of progress with the preparations. We have your bassinet, two car seats, a pack and play, lots of clothes, and 14/24 of your diapers. There are still quite a few little things we have to pick up, but we're getting there.
You had a pretty cool weekend. Grandma Garrrett's sister (Aunt Mako) is in town, so on Saturday, your Dad cooked breakfast for all of us. Then, you and I went to my friend Christie's house to watch "Twilight." (I don't want to hear a word. As long as you're a tenant in my womb, you will be subjected to my cheesy vampire romance movies). Sunday, we went hiking at Chimney Rock. You did great on your first hike, although your Dad was the only one who went up to the top of the chimney. The elevator was broken, and after about 3 flights of stairs, I gave up. When we got home, we ate sukiyaki! You will love it when you are old enough to taste it with your own mouth.
I had this weird revelation... it hit me that you are never going to see me the way I see myself. In my head, I will always be young and moderately cool. I will always be green-haired and nose-pierced. I will always be a poet and a wanderer. I will always be the sort of person who drives around all night aimlessly or takes off for the beach at midnight, on a whim. But you will only see me as I am now. I will be your archetype for "adult." I find this a little bizarre, but it's sort of liberating too. You and I have never really met, so, while you don't know all the neat things about me, you don't know the bad ones either. We get to start over fresh, with a clean slate. I think we will have fun with that.
I can't wait to meet you. Not long now!
Love,
Mom
