Today, August 5th, is our baby's due date. Too bad Baby doesn't know this... :)
He/she is still tucked in, nice and snugly. We'll see how things go this week. We have a doc's appointment Wednesday morning to evaluate how the little tyke is doing in there. Baby's still squirming away, so I'm sure Baby is just enjoying the full-body hugs, endless supply of food and the nice, dark, warm cocoon.
I'm off to do groceries. It never fails that when I go out, I get asked about the baby and when it's due. It will be fun to watch the faces of the people when I tell them, "Oh, today." They usually back away in terror, as if my water is going to instantly break all over their sandals, or tell me (as I was told on Friday night when Scott and I were out for his birthday date night) "Get yourself home, girl!" This woman was funny. We chatted with her and her friend for a bit and she told us that she worked as a social worker in inner city Chicago for many years and it was rare that she saw the excitement, love and happiness that we were exuding when we talked about the upcoming arrival of our little one. She said, "Babies just don't know...they don't know how much they can be loved."
So, Baby, in or out, your mommy and daddy love you very much. Happy due date! Maybe we can celebrate with some ice cream later. :)
love

I believe I am just about as excited as Scott, but not as excited as you. Being a mom and going through the final days of pregnancy are excited and VERY TIRING! With that said, we wish you a very healthy labor and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of that wonderful bundle of joy.
That's funny! I actually think Scott is more excited than I am! ha :) I'm getting kicks and punches all the time, so I'm inundated with baby's movements and 'progression'. And this waiting is giving me some well-needed down time.
If this baby only knew about all of the people who are rooting for him/her to be born!
One thing is for sure: he/she is definitely a Leo...waiting to make a grand entrance into this world!
