Emotions running high now!

Mr H works hard and commutes into London all week, so Saturday mornings are a treat for both of us. This Saturday we were up at 7a.m, so we took the duvet into the lounge and popped on a DVD. We watched 'What Dreams May Come' starring Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr and Annabella Sciorra.

Bad idea or good idea? We're not sure which, but we cried our eyes out, hugged each other and cried some more. We spent the rest of the day even more loved up and constantly telling each other 'I love you' (aaahhhhh how sweet).

The film is quite dark in parts, but really opens your mind to the 'meaning of life' debate and it certainly confirmed for us what love is all about.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is, with the imminent arrival of Teplet on the horizon, we're both feeling incredibly sensitive and emotional. As far as life-changing experiences go, this is by far one of the biggest and while we feel as ready as we can be, the fear of the unknown and what is about to unfurl brings with it such a strange mix of anxiety and excitement. Watching soppy movies together is just the calm before the storm and we needed to let some of that emotion out of our system. Next time we'll watch something much less challenging on the old tear ducts - hopefully we'll be joined by Teplet on the couch and we can introduce him/her to the wonderful world of Disney. The Lion King will be a good start for our own little Simba.
