Sump Pump

Last night, at around 1:30 a.m. our sump pump alarm started going off. I went downstairs to see what the deal was. I ended up spending a half an hour standing in front of the sump pump alarm just staring at it as it blared its alarm over and over again because I didn't know how to fix it.

We're having a baby soon. The due date is in a little over a month. Last night as I stood there staring at the sump pump blaring in my face, all I could think about was how very soon I'm going to have another being in my life who will do things over which I'll have absolutely no control. I expect that there will be times when our child will cry and all I'll be able to do is sit there and endure the screaming. I'm so excited for the challenge, but last night really reminded me that this is real, and it's coming soon!

We can't wait!
