1 more month!!!

Exactly 1 month from today is my offical due date. Now, I know it is very rare for babies to come on their exact due date, but it still gives me a day to aim for. Normal activites that used to be easy are really starting to become awkward such as: walking, sleeping, getting in and out of cars, walking up and down stairs, and the list could go on. I guess I could say anything that requires movement is difficult, but I'm so grateful not to be sick that I will take being uncomfortable any day.

All in all I would say, so far, my pregnancy has been very typical. Nothing out of the ordinary. My doctor tells me I'm a "textbook." Hopefully that continues during the next 4 weeks. For some reason it still doesn't seem real that I'm going to have a baby. Greg and I will often just look and each other and say "I can't believe we are going to be parents."

I often think of an episode on a TV show that I saw like 10 years ago. It was on a show called Mad about You, and they had just had their first baby and had come home from the hospital, walked into their apartment and just stood at the door with their baby in arms. They walked around the apratment at first and showed the baby around, but after about 1 minute of that they had nothing left to do, they just sat there, looking at the baby, just the two of them, in complete awkward silence. After a minute Paul was like "so....we have a baby" Jamie said "yes we do" another pause and then all the sudden both just started freaking out!! They were like what in the world do we do now. It finally had sunk in that they have a little baby to take care of and not a clue what they are doing. I've always remembered that because I'm sure Greg and I will feel the same way for awhile. Anyway, I need to go! Just wanted to share some thoughts!

good luck!! It will be so fun and so exciting! But if you feel good enough, take advantage of this last month, and go and do things! Dinner, movies, or just go for drives, do things off the cuff, random things....because these will no longer be things of your future.So do it while you can, because a whole other "fun and exciting" adventure will be here any day.
