Just stuff

My time in St. Louis is going by way too fast. I can’t believe as of tomorrow I will have been here a week already!! I used to remember the time dragging by when I would come home to visit over college breaks. I couldn’t get out of here fast enough so that I could get back to "real" life, such the opposite of now. I don’t think I will make it home again until August, and then it will be me and the baby. It’s hard to wrap my head around that. I go through periods where I feel insanely excited about being a mom, and others where I wonder what I have gotten myself into. I loved babysitting my 3 week old neice on Friday night, but after about an hour I had gotten my baby fix. An hour! I am going to have a kid for 24 hours of everyday for at least the next 18 years!! Everyone says it’s totally different when it is your own child. I have been told you just love him/her so much that you can’t get enough time with them. I am sure that will be the case, but it’s still scary.

I have gotten to see quite a few friends while I have been in town. I wish I had invested more of myself into some of these friends while I lived here. I think sometimes I took having them around for granted. Now I would love it if I could see them on a weekly basis. I get to go see my old class tomorrow! I am reading them Christmas stories and eating lunch with them. I can’t wait!!

Alright, I am off to go see my granparents in the nursing home. My parents seem to think that my grandma won’t be around for much more than 6 months. Another person who I wish I hadn’t taken for granted while I lived in St. Louis.

Hope you guys are all having a great night!!
