In three hours Wolverine will officially be considered "viable". Normally I try to make a joke out of everything, but it is a special feeling; I'm sure that's pretty normal. I am feeling very calm and thankful, and almost teary as I try to put it into words. Some very good friends of ours have been married almost the exact amount of time as us, and have also been having difficulty having a child. They are not bloggers and will likely never read this, but I don't feel it appropriate to share too much detail. I just know that right now they are not feeling like "entertaining" and I get the feeling they... well I am just very thankful. I just feel the veil is thin, gauzy and billowing in the breeze. It feels like like I should already be able to grab him up and hold tight, like if I stare hard enough his blurry outline will come into focus. I joke that our child is going to eventually need therapy from a perpetually hovering father skulking behind him with a cushion and a band aid. But If I had to be honest and a little egotistical I think he is going to be pretty lucky to have a father who is so excited to be with him on this side of that billowy veil.

I lover the new look except I cant see it well enough to read it....Am I the only one with this issue?
What is too hard to read, I'll totally change it?
I just changed to a different template, any better?
great site, easily readable. Yes this little one coming is deffinately going to be one blessed (and spoiled) little boy. So many loved ones are waiting his arrival. Can't wait.
Great post. I think this little one must be very special to be able to come to your family! I know what you mean about the veil being very thin. That will just intensify until the birth and then it will really become indescribable. It is truly incredible and I could not be more happier for your family.
You know, there are some who say, "I know just what you mean" and although they mean well, and are just trying to be supportive, they just can't know what it's REALLY like. From someone who maybe has a little bit more commonality, your post brought tears. I will NEVER forget those long long years or take for granted the awesome blessing and privilege it is to be called mom and grandma. Thank you for the touching post. You ARE ready!! And to your friends, my heart truly does go out to them.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. What a lucky boy he will be. I am so happy for your family!!!
P.S. I like this layout better. It is easier to read.
