The above was Rebecca's favorite line from the movie Juno. It is so very true.
My life used to be divided like this:
time in school/time not in school
Later on it was:
time at work/time at home
Then it seemed to become:
time when single/time when married
Now it is more like:
time before kids/time after kids
I need to be better at enjoying the last nine months before he gets here. I have focused a lot on the inconveniences and sacrifices and suckiness of pregnancy and have probably missed out on appreciating some beautiful moments. I really don't feel I can be grateful enough to my Heavenly Father for sending me my two beautiful angels, Rebecca and Eleanor. I love 'em.

You are lucky, lucky. And getting luckier!
There was a book I read a couple years ago where it follows the main character through his life. He was a hard working man- honest and faithful and ambitious- a good father and husband. You get to see him from his late teens until he is in his 80s. A lot of setbacks and a lot of successes. By the end of the book he stops and realizes that he spent his whole life moving forward and DOING instead of just BEING. I wish I could remember the name of the book, but it has stuck with me. I think it is important to have goals, to realize that the hard phases of parenting will pass, but if we don't slow down and enjoy being, we will look back and wonder why we were in such a hurry.
