our bags are packed. i wish i was going on holiday, lugging golf bags, but no, i’m talking about my hospital bag and jan’s overnight bag, in case he needs to stay with relatives while i’m at the hospital delivering the next member of the family. unlike with anticipating your first child, i realize this delivery and the succeeding couple of weeks will take a little bit more of planning and coordination as this time around, there’s jan to consider as well. he’ll probably miss a day or so from kindergarten, as i’m sure he’d also appreciate being present during the first few days, but i’m hoping his schedule won’t be disrupted more than necessary.

certainly, we’ll have to find and fit a into a new routine that works for us all, and it will take some getting used to. it will take weeks, perhaps months til we find some semblance of normalcy, some sense of alltag or “everyday-ness”, to our lives. it will be challenging, frustrating at times, perhaps. sleepless nights, school stress, job requirements, extra-curricular activities, wet nappies and engorged breasts.

but we are a team. a family. what is there to worry about?
