My wonderful Grammy Myers passed away last Sunday and it seems like going through these major things in life really make you stop and realize, hey, maybe I do feel like an adult even though I'm almost 30. I have to agree with you completely on a lot of things here. I am so happy for you and it sounds like you're ready for this next step in your life. You can never really be "ready" for something so challenging and life-changing, but I think you're smart that you've waited till you're at a point where you are prepared. If and when Aleksei and I decide we're at that point, we want it to be as well planned out as everything else, but I know that nothing can ever be that perfect. Kids come with no instructions and can be unexpected. It's funny, cause I haven't really felt that "adult" or "grown-up" feeling during the past two years as we got married, built a house, etc, until my grandma was gone. Now I've begun to really think about life and my parents and treasuring everything I have. The love of my family and great friends. It seems like it's impossible that we are turning 30, it went by so fast. Glad you posted this and I read it, again, I'm so excited for you. I will live vicariously through others with babies for now. Thinking about you and hoping for you to be fertile. That sounds weird, I doubt they make a greeting card for that. LOL. I've been meaning to tell you also that i keep thinking of you when I hear Lady Gaga. She is so influenced by the stuff we grew up with and so much of her music reminds me of the times we used to listen to Ace of Base and TLC (her new song Born This Way reminds me of Waterfalls in places). LOL, don't know if you listen to her, but thought it was funny. I have had quite a few “grown up” moments this past week.

Been there twice now as you already know. Children are the greatest adventure we can have as human beings. I used to say this about a lot of things before I had mine. They are the mid-terms to the rest of our lives. Putting to the test everything we know and don't know thus far. But ultimately making us wiser and better people as a whole. You are so lucky or maybe not lucky to be able to prepare like this. I can't say it will make it a breeze for ya but every little bit helps. Hehe. ^^ I know where you are.
