Today marks the beginning of our weekly doctor appointments. It's hard to believe that we are so close to the end of this anticipation/beginning of parenthood. We're definitely starting to think in concrete terms of baby's arrival, ie. making sure bags are packed and ready, creating a plan for notifying Dan that it's time, creating a plan for notifying others, etc. I've also been taking stock of what I have for the baby, and purchasing the things we still need. It so difficult to gauge just how many onesies (for example) we need, without being excessive. The last thing we need is more stuff, and I'd hate to start this little one off with a love of materialism. lol.
Everyone asks how I feel these days. Well...I feel bigger. But I also feel pretty good most of the time. I haven't gained any weight in the last two weeks, which has to be Divine Intervention considering all of the Coke floats and milkshakes I've been enjoying! I'm dilated 1 cm, and I'm comfortable with this knowing we have 4 weeks left until the due date. I've been thinking of all the friends' stories regarding being sent to the hospital straight from the doctor's appointment, going into labor WAY early, etc. A pregnant woman definitely has an active imagination!

Oh - you ARE pregnant! What is wrong with us that we have not communicated more through this crazy thing - oh, I know what is wrong with us. It's called life. Blah.
What I meant to say is... you look beautiful. What is this child's name? And you are just too cute!!!
WOW!! I had no idea your guys were expecting. Do you know the sex yet? Erica, Jackson & I are doing well. Still looking for full time work, but trusting Jesus. Thanks for keeping in touch. We should connect since we are only an 1 or so apart. Congratulations again on the baby!!!
