Dare I say it? I am starting to feel normal.

Well normal as one can feel I suppose when there is a human being growing inside of you. Granted, last night I was pretty tired, but that has even been subsiding lately. I am starting to feel a lot more human again. The nausea is not coming over me in waves, the tiredness is subsiding thus allowing me to function in the real world again, and we are growing more comfortable with the impending arrival of the peanut. It's so nice to hear other people say, "You two are going to make such great parents"- very reassuring - and I hear it a lot. I hope that we can live up to it.

So tonight, we are even having some friends over to play a game (to my mother and sister - you know what it is and you laugh at it - don't worry it will not do any damage to your future grandchild/nephew or neice). A WHOLE night of normal - WOW! It will be a good time. Now, before you say it, I know we don't have a whole lot of "normal" time left and that when the peanut does arrive everything will change (how can we NOT know this - it is one of the first things that people tend to point out to you as soon as we say ' we're having a baby!'). Regardless, I will take whatever "normal" time I can have for the time being and cherish it. Besides - it is a group of guys coming over tonight - so I know other then us saying "By the way, we're having a baby" and them saying "Congrats!" there will not be any other questions or comments. They're guys aren't they. Not saying I don't also enjoy when people engage me in conversation after they find out - but just that it will be refreshing tonight to just not talk about being pregnant etc. Anyway, I am looking forward to my normal night (regardless of how abnormal YOU may think it is :) )
