Deep thoughts on the reality of babies

Tonight we went to a "Meet the Midwives" night at our clinic. The goal was to get to know the two new midwives who will be joining our team in the new year. However, one wasn't able to make it and the other was talking with clients, so it turned into a "Meet the Other People in the Waiting Room" night. This was interesting, as several of the people were little 4-6 week old babies. Real, live babies. Wow. They're incredible!

I was a little overwhelmed by how real those babies were. No longer bumps that kick, these were very small people. I know in my mind that we'll have one of them in the new year, but it doesn't always compute. Even when my baby is kicking me multiple times daily and giving ample proof of its existence, I can't fully comprehend this idea. Even if I don't know what I'm getting in to, I'm looking forward to the challenge of becoming a mother!
