We're Getting There!

 Childbirth and Infant classes at the hospital? Check! Car seat inspected for safety? Check! Bags packed for the hospital? Check! Let the waiting game begin...

28 days from the due date. I'm just going to answer the question you're all thinking (and asking too). Yes, I'm starting to get a little scared. I'm ready, and then I'm not. I'm excited, and then I'm terrified. I'm exhausted, all the time. Hmmm this is so bittersweet. Name any kind of emotion, and I guarantee you I've felt it in the last 24 hours.

There is literally nothing left to do but wait. The worst part!

But now for some fun! :) The Baby Bet!!! (How many of you completely forgot?? I know I did! -- or should I blame that on my pregnancy brain?) Here are the latest standings!!!

Oh yeah, I know how you all love the pictures - I have just one for you. This is the view that I get to enjoy every day... for about 4 more weeks! (give or take!)
