Went to the doctor yesterday morning (which also happened to be my birthday) and had a great visit. Of course I asked all the regular questions that I had meticulously scribbled into my little black journal. Dr. Singer always knows he's going to be barraged with questions when I whip out that little book. I found out that I CAN swim in the lake, I CAN go out on the boat, I CAN eat lots of birthday cake... ok, maybe I made up that last one, but seriously, I can pretty much do anything but go wakeboarding. After he answered all of my questions he started going through when we should call him. As he went through the initial signs of labor, it really started to hit me, "OH MY GOSH - this is really happening - we're having a human being!" Matt and I walked out of there with a new sense of urgency. We decided that the bags had to be packed that night! Dr. Singer said that Zach could be here in as little as a week and a half. As he poked and prodded my belly he determined that Zach was going to be "small". I motioned an underhand fist by my side in celebration because I was so scared at having this huge kid. "As long as he's healthy", I said "I don't mind having a small baby one bit."
The countdown continues. My due date is June 28th. My prediction of Zach's arrival is on the full moon which occurs June 18th. Matt's prediction was for June 4th. Luckily he wasn't right. I hadn't finished packing my bag yet.
Until next week.. peace and love to all!
