Countdown

Only 8 more days to go!! I can hardly believe it. I look in the mirror these days and it's hard to imagine my belly without the bump. That's probably how nature intended it, so you forget how your tummy looked before baby and just roll with whatever's there afterwards... I'm at 39 weeks w/approx 7lbs of baby in there:

Are we ready for the hospital? YES! I've been packed and ready to go for a couple weeks now, Craig is finishing up this weekend. We have the infant base already installed in the car, all her clothes and sheets are washed, and the room is ready to go (behold!).



I've also been adding a lot to my "after baby" list - of course this includes being able to sleep on my tummy and back, effortlessly tying my shoes, and fitting into my old clothes. But the majority of my list is food/beverage related. I can't wait to have a good chianti with dark chocolate, fig & brie bruschetta from Postino (Phx restaurant), sushi!, ice cold draft beer, and a pomegranate margarita - I hear they're pretty good. I think Craig just wants me to stop getting up in the middle of the night and to regain that common sense I seem to have lost over the last month. Yep, I'm guilty of the prego brain! Not to mention 7 years of firefighting has made him a light sleeper. For now, I continue to be the designated driver and perpetual "nester"...

Fingers crossed I'm posting baby pictures next week :)
