Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock

Now that the commotion of "the BIG DUE DATE" has come and gone without incident, event or birth - I find myself really enjoying the day today. Only have one item on my baby-prep to-do list today...need to go to the storage unit and find the rest of the little person stuff and drop off all my work files, etc. Things I won't be using for the next six weeks.

Its funny to think that this might be my very last day of being home alone with the dog, working on the computer, relaxing for the next 25 years! Lots still to do but nothing that can't really wait to get done.

There are moments in our life that we look back at and say, "that's when everything changed." Its very unique to be awaiting the birth of your first child though because you can sort of see that moment coming but you can't time it...so the lead up a very odd sort of limbo.

Now.................if I could just find the battery charger for my digital camera I could actually relax.............

And before you ask:

(1) I still feel fine, same as yesterday.
(2) I do believe that dipping chocolate chip cookies in canned chocolate frosting is a HEALTHY choice for me today...mentally healthy.
(3) Yeah, I did buy the new Rod Stewart album - people have been telling me for the past nine months that I am of "advanced maternal age" maybe its going to my head.
(4) You guys are all fantastic and I don't really know how I would have made it this far without the AMAZING friends and extended family that I have. HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS!

And, people, a note: I PROMISE that if I suddenly feel "different" or go into labor or hear from my doctor that there is a change of status....I will let you know. I promise. If my daughter is even a tiny bit like me, she will show up exactly when SHE wants to, the way she wants to. Thanks for asking.
