Mike was much more eloquent than I have the energy to be at the moment, but I am just as excited and terrified as he is at the prospect of becoming a parent. Except unlike Michael, I have daily physical reminders (in the first trimester, constant nausea and vomiting; now, the little flutters of baby movement in my belly and alternating jags of inhuman nesting energy and utter exhaustion; soon, a basketball where my belly was!) of the life we are going to bring into this world. And even when it's kind of icky, I love every moment of it.
