Washing and Terrified

What am I doing this morning you ask? Washing all kinds of teeny, tiny, socks, sweater sets, receiving blankets and the like. How on earth was it that she was ever so small?

I saw Cooper yesterday morning. They've begun... He did the Group B Strep test and then when feeling my belly realized her head was no longer up where he could feel it. So, he checked me and she sure is 'engaged.' He's lucky we're still friends after that whole scene. I told him that you don't need to be a doctor to figure that one out, I could have told him her head was coming down. He said given everything I've got going on he would "be willing to do anything he could to help me get delivered by the 24th or 25th." That's exactly three weeks away. I'm officially terrified.

He told me to be happy that it's almost over. And that I looked 'all sexy with my new hair cut and ready to have a baby.' No, I have not had my haircut but thanks for the compliment? Sexy and I certainly do not belong in the same sentence, period. Especially coming from you. Especially when you are sitting there with the rattiest baseball cap, three pairs of reading glasses on your head, a scrub shirt, cargo shorts, no socks, penny loafers, and some weird 2 sizes too big fleece jacket with moose all over it. Luckily, he took off the baby blue scarf already. He says he feels bad because patients always give him all kinds of gifts and he never gets a chance to use them so some days he just puts on random stuff.

I see Tabsh tomorrow and Tamagna on Monday so we'll see how those two appointments go.

You are almost there! You will do great. Hey are you planning on doing the natural thing again? You are so brave and strong. I can't wait to see her. 3 weeks will come very fast! I understand how terrified you are. You feel like you have so much to get done in such little time. Good luck and don't stress.

Oh Elizabeth, I am so excited for you! I keep watching your ticker and waiting in anticipation! What a wonderful time! I can't wait until I am there.

Your stories about Cooper just make me laugh and laugh.

Hey, you ARE a sexy pregnant mama. When I was about as pregnant as you my sister gave me a CD....one of the songs was "Hey Sexy Mama" by Shaggy. It makes me laugh everytime I hear it, because at that point you kind of feel anything but sexy. Enjoy your pregnancy hotness.....BTW if you need any help with Noelle during everything, please let me know. One of the hardest parts of giving birth is making sure your other babies are taken care of. We'd LOVE to have a little girl around, so PLEASE consider letting me help out!

And... while all of the madness is going on around you, and you're worried, tired and stressed, don't forget to cherish what is happening to your family. A sister for Noelle, another little girl to love. We are so happy for you and Aaron.
