Thank you all for the loving & supportive messages! It makes me rest a little easier knowing that I have so many folks to help me if I need them =) as we embark on the Great Twin Adventure. (That's how I've been thinking of it lately...all caps, like the title of a book or something!)
I have been enjoying this holiday weekend, even with the head-cold still lingering and Eric being away. It's always nice to have a chance to rest and recoup. Plus, I was able to have a wonderful afternoon catching up with friends (and their new little ones) while dinning on yummy bbq and many varieties of cheese (all pasteurized!! yay for brie).
However, as I woke this morning and wandered through the house, footfalls echoing through the empty rooms... I had a feeling of what can only be described as melancholy. As excited and thrilled as I am for all the changes (new house, new babies), I find myself a little sad too. Eric & I lived four happy years here in our little ranch house, with lots of great memories, and even though we aren't moving, it won't be the same house with the new upstairs. It certainly won't be the same once it is filled to the brim with toys & noise & babies too! I know this is going to be a great change, one we've fought hard to get, but just for right now, I have a nostalgic feeling for our newlywed years and the life we are leaving behind...
