0 Days Left (or so "they" say)

That sort of creepy little ticker widget on the sidebar of my blog indicates that there are 0 Days left until my little chica is due. BabyCenter.com updates now point to me being the mother of a newborn. My measurements and stats from yesterday's OB appointment point to the fact that this baby is DUE.

And guess what? She is NOT here yet.

Actually, as hard as it may be to believe... I am doing okay with the waiting. People keep expecting me to be on the edge of my seat, impatient as can be (which is sort of annoying in and of itself). But, really - I am okay. If she needs to stay in there for a little while longer, so be it. Forgive the obvious statement but, once she is here, she is HERE FOREVER. So I am really trying to appreciate this time as much as I can. Fortunately, I am very comfortable - I am not super ginormous, sleep deprived, or over worked so life is pretty chill right now. And - Mother Nature, God bless her, has been very forgiving with heat and humidity.

So for all inquiring minds - yes, I am STILL pregnant. And I know, I know, I know! Babies rarely come on their due date and more often in first pregnancies, they come PAST the due date! Thanks for the encouragement but like I said - I am OK with this.

Don't get me wrong - I am SO excited to meet my little baby and am truly ready for that day to come. I want to kiss her and hug her and love her and share her with our family and friends.

I really can't wait... but I will.
