Aaaaaany time now...

I've now reached the point of my pregnancy where I think some people are nervous to be around me....
When I was riding the elevator this morning a couple of other women were on there too and one asked when I'm due. I told her "The 26th" and the look on her face instantly went from "Aw, sweet pregnant girl" to "Oh gah, is there a chance I'm going to have to deliver her baby?!". And then the other lady on the elevator said "WOW! Any second now...", lol - I love it! I mean, I guess I could go into labor at any moment but I'm pretty sure if I were having contractions regularly enough for that I would have called into work.

Another one of our Bradley classmates had their baby yesterday morning! It was actually the couple that was due the week before us so she delivered a little early. They were the only couple that didn't know the sex of their baby so it was extra exciting to get the email from them to find out... IT'S A GIRL! ;) When she sent the email yesterday she said they hadn't named her yet so I can't wait to hear what they came up with. So far everyone has made it completely natural so it's giving me hope that I have a chance of a successful natural birth as well! This girl actually said it all happened so fast she didn't have a choice if she had wanted drugs which is pretty unusual for a first birth. Now that they've had their baby I'm really on the edge of my seat to meet our precious girl!

Yesterday my mom told me I can't be ready to have the baby yet because I don't act miserable enough. She basically said I don't seem completely uncomfortable and I'm not constantly whining about any & everything so I can't possibly be ready yet. How sweet - I disagree though. I've been feeling a lot of contractions (still very irregular) and pelvic pressure... plus I've just had a strong feeling that she's coming (at least slightly) before her E.D.D.. Of course, I also had a strong feeling she was going to be a boy so maybe not, haha!

Last night Josh and I went to Target to get Beauty and the Beast (on blu-ray) and of course we went back home and watched it right away. He was just as excited as I was to watch it and I just love him for that! ;) It (re)occurred to me while we were relaxing on the couch together that these are our final days together as just a husband and wife. It made me really want to think of something special that we can do before Auria arrives. Don't get me wrong, we're both totally ready and excited to finally meet her but I'd like to make these last days/weeks extra special before we're really mommy and daddy. It's not like I think our marriage is over once the baby is here because I definitely intend to make sure that is not the case, but I just love my husband so much and I want to be sure we thouroughly enjoy the last few days of just us before we're sharing our time with someone else.

Alright well, off to my day - lots to do and since I don't know how much time I have left before my baby girl comes I'd better be as productive as possible ;)
