Ohh Big Belly, What is inside?

11 days, and I'm counting down. Predicting when the actual big day will come! Will it be the 18th? Will it be tomorrow? It's quite odd, I feel like I'm a ticking time bomb, as mark said.... I just never know when it's going to happen.

I'm feeling great, physically, besides my swollen ankles and my hands are a lil puffy. BUT my blood pressure is great, so my doc isn't too concerned - this is good! I'm exhausted, cause I have difficulty sleeping... maybe when the baby comes I can get 2-3 hours of uninterupted sleep... i'm currently up every hour and a half making trips to the potty.... ohh lucky me.

The babes area is all setup, crib is ready for baby, clothes have been washed and folded - just need to bring him home so I can put all this great stuff to use.

We had birthing class last night and the nurse is really wonderful who gives the class, she brought us up to the birthing center, and showed us how to bathe a babe.... the lil babe was less than 24 hours old, and she was a peanut, weighing a lil more than 5 lbs..... and a pediatrician came in and talked to us about all the things NOT to worry about. I feel like a big sponge, I can't soak in enough of this information. I read and read and read.... but well, I've never really done this before, so it'll be a learning curve for all of us, but like the sweet nurse said, if you are caring for your baby and not being neglectful - you'll be fine, there are different ways of doing different things.

Two weekends ago we took a babymoon to Vermont. It was absolutely wonderful to spend the weekend with my love, where we were able to just enjoy one anothers company and focus on us.

Our days as a couple are coming to an end.... and soon we'll be a family.

It won't be long, before he is here... and I can't wait! I'm patiently (anxiously) awaiting his arrival!
