i'm not a gramma yet. but it's an amazing thing to watch my daughter grow and prepare for motherhood. katie lets me feel baby kick and move and hiccup, and i remember how i loved to feel my babies moving inside me. (and then missing those feelings after the baby was born.) i remember the morning sickness, and the heartburn and at the end, feeling tired all the time. and on the flip side, the anticipation, getting a room ready, and reading everything i could on pregnancy and about baby's first year. so much fun!
saturday we helped brian and katie move. a charming old san francisco apartment with so much character—and 2 bedrooms! now baby won't have her first bedroom be a closet (though it was a large closet). fred set up the crib and brian set up the high chair; they got a dresser and glider chair on craigslist... the room is looking ready for baby to move in. i'm pretty sure brian and katie are going to be great parents.
i'm getting ready too. i've already asked about cutting back my hours so i can spend a day a week with katie and baby. sometimes i'll go to their place, and sometimes kate and baby will come over. i have bottles and diapers, a pack 'n play, a bottlebrush, baby thermometer, and for later, baby spoons and plates.
so now we're waiting... and hoping she comes before thanksgiving. that would be perfect!
