Waves of emotion

I worked an overtime shift last night and left the hospital at 10pm. As I was leaving the parking lot, I saw a (very!) pregnant woman and her partner coming in.  She was obviously in labour as she often stopped to breath and he seemed to be timing her contractions.  I became very overwhelmed by watching them and got pretty choked up.  I've always been fascinated by the idea that one minute you are a woman and the next, you are a mother.  One minute you are a couple and the next, you are a family.  In one minute, your life is altered for the rest of time.  Even thinking about it now makes me teary.  I still can't believe that we are having a baby in 10 weeks and that our lives are about to change forever.  What an amazing thing!
