Relationship to Patient

39 Weeks

My due date is Friday! That is hard to fathom. I no longer need to say July 8th, just Friday. I decided to work on filling out some paperwork today for health insurance changes and the pediatrician.  I wanted to get most of it completed, so when Juliette is born all I need to due is add name, birth date, SS number... Anyone have a birthday guess??? I got to the section where I wrote Canaan Shaffner & Andrea Shaffner. The next blank said, relationship to patient. As I realized I needed to write Dad and Mom, I was struck by the strange feelings writing these words referring to Canaan and me carried with them. Dad and Mom, Mom and Dad, Mother and Father... strange, new, and wonderful.
