Anticipation

I'm sure I have friends and family checking my facebook page often to see if baby's come yet or not. And no, baby is taking his/her time. Due date is only two days away, but it seems like the days are getting slower and slower as we get closer.

Luke and I are so excited to meet our baby. My hospital bag has been packed and waiting by the door for at least two weeks, Baby's car seat is buckled in the car, and I think we're as set as we can be for when we bring Baby back from the hospital.

Am I impatient? YES, VERY!! Well, at least yesterday and today. Sleep doesn't really happen anymore, and I can't see my toes, let alone bend over to pick something up off the floor. Sliding sideways through a narrow spot doesn't work, my belly gets in the way...yet I still think I might just make it. :) Most of this stuff is funny and doesn't bother me too much, I'm just ready to hold my little one and maybe feel a little more normal.

One of the few things that makes me feel nearly normal is swimming. I've only been a few times to the pool at our apartment, but my back doesn't ache when I'm in the water and I almost forget I'm pregnant. Except for the fact that I have to wear shorts and a t-shirt over my swim suit cause it's a little too small right now, and it's a little more difficult to do certain strokes.

Some people have asked me if I've had any cravings the last few months or so. I don't think I've had anything out of the ordinary... Luke has treated me a couple times to late night snacks (nachos and on a separate occasion, ice cream with french fries.) But, I haven't wanted anything strange or gross.

Others have asked if I have leanings one way or the other on if baby's going to be a boy or girl. My answer is: I have no idea! Some days I think 'it's going to be a boy' and others 'it's definitely a girl'. So, we'll find out when it's time. :)

So, when will it be time? My bet is August 20th, sometime in the evening. What do you think?? Any bets?
