Already?!?

32 weeks and counting...
It's funny. I'm 32 weeks pregnant which means in about two months we will be welcoming Emma Grace. I have enjoyed being pregnant and it's gone so fast that I don't really remember much of it.
But, I do know:
*that Emma and I have fun together playing games and chatting
*that she knows Mike's voice and now will show off for him when he talks to her
*that she is very shy but also very much an instigator (kicks and rolls when Lily is cuddling before nap as if trying to wake her up)
*that I've had back lower back pain on and off but hasn't really hindered my day to day life
*that Lily is excited to meet "sissy", knows where "sissy's room" is
*that I have gained much more weight than I wanted to
*that I can still do my walk aerobics
I know all of these things and probably some more if my mind wasn't all jumbled :) but there are some things that I still don't know.
*Will I be able to deliver naturally or need a C-section?? (will find out Friday!)
*Will I be able to breastfeed longer than I did with Lily?
*What will Lily's reaction really be to her new sister?
*Will I be able to handle all of this?!?
*When will I find time to make Emma's room her own?
*When will we get the baby gear out of storage to get it ready?
And the list can go on and on and on...and until now I have not thought about any of those answers. I probably won't think about those answers until I have to, when the moment is upon me. Some may say that I'm unprepared or that I need to have a plan but I say Good. For. Me. I don't need a plan. Things are going to be the way they are supposed to be, and that's that. And I don't have the time or energy for that matter to worry about what "could be".
So for the next 8 weeks or so, I'm going to take it one day at a time.
Probably my mantra for the next year or so :).
