Perfect 10?

Want to know how nine months can go by so quickly? Me, too.
We are four days from the birth of Child 2, and I'm trying to figure out what happened to the past several months. Time flew by and now we're sailing toward odd sleeping habits, lots of diapers and the general sanity-testing craziness of raising two kids without cracking.
I'm sure that makes a few people chuckle, especially those battle-tested parents of multiple kids.
"Two's nothing," a co-worker told me today.
Unless you've only had one.
Regardless, the countdown began today with Anni's final doctor's appointment. The baby's heart rate was 153 and Anni's stomach measured 41 inches.
"Well, it's a big one," was what her doctor told her before predicting a 10-pound baby.
The details for Monday have been nailed down, but there are two things we don't know. One is the sex of the baby. That'll be a surprise.
The other unknown, at least for a short time yet, is how we'll pull this off, this being raising two.
We've got one more weekend to prepare. Or maybe there actually is nothing to do to prepare. Or maybe we've been preparing all along.
