Happy Zero-th Birthday!

We have a date with a pitocin drip in the morning. It is customary for expecting parents to be excited and crazed with anticipation as the due date approaches. We are fortunate I suppose, to know that our wait is almost over!

So how to pass the time? We spent the day relaxing, napping, watching Season 6 of 24, taking walks around the block- and tonight celebrating!






The final belly picture..... 39 weeks. Do you think it is a 50 pound baby?




It will be a big day tomorrow- there is a reason they call it labor I suppose.

I feel grateful that the testing on Thursday suggests a healthy baby. Grateful I was able to work until the end. Grateful for the last two weeks of rest.

A new beginning for a little person whose name will be Zachary Alexander- a new life. What an amazing birthday gift!
