Little moments

We're three weeks from the due date, which really means any day now.  It's been funny to notice lately all the "little moments" that denote our pending addition.

Some of them have been humorous (like realizing we should quickly invest in Duracell because ever kids toy these days seems to take 4 AAs -- and another 2 if you want to use the remote).

Some of have less than humorous (like feeling the effects of increasingly less sleep -- yes, already -- while failing miserably to hang shelves in the nursery).

Some have been sentimental (like Brittney's father's gentle kiss on her cheek and heart-felt "good luck" on our last visit to Burlington before the big day).

Most days, in the craziness that is our pre-parenthood lives, these moments would have simply passed right by, without much thought. But for whatever reason, they have caught my attention recently and helped bring a smile to my face.

While Brittney and I are very much looking forward to all the little moments (and the major milestones) that we'll celebrate in the coming weeks, months and years, it's been a great last few weeks for Brittney and I, just being us.
