Close

It is getting close. 9/25 is getting close.

I have two more weeks of work left, and then I am done with the office till 1/2/07. There are quite a few people at my office who believe Jack will come earlier than later. We'll see what happens.

I am excited, nervous, anxious, nervous....did I mention nervous?

I complain a lot about how uncomfortable I am at this stage in the pregnancy. I have not slept through the night in months, my lower tummy hurts and stretches, I have to pee every 30 minutes, and walking or just plain getting around has been slow and at times painful. And if one more person asks me how I am feeling (mostly people at the office) or when my due date is (again, mostly poeple at the office who've asked me a million times before and never bothered to remember my answer) I am going to punch them in the head.

But deep down, in spite of my complaints, I'm glad to be where I am.

I cannot believe that 9 months is drawing to a close, and I will finally meet our son, Jack. I will finally be able to look into his face, touch his hands and feet, and see exactly how much hair he has on his little head. I can't wait to smell him, and cradle him and look into his eyes. I can't wait to hear him cry. I know I will lose it the first time I hear him cry.

My next doctor's appointment is 9/14. We'll see what kind of progress I've made by then.
