Thinking back on all that has happened this past year kind of blows me away: I ran a half-marathon, bought a condo, got pregnant, and then started writing constantly about being pregnant. It's even more amazing to me what I'll have to look forward to in the coming year, which will hopefully start very very soon with the delivery of this child. I've resorted to bribing the baby to come out already, oh my god please come out I'll let you stay up late and watch hockey games with mama, but so far no change. I promise to keep you all updated, and hopefully I'll have some exciting news to report soon as my due date is but six (6!) days away.
For what it's worth, my older brother was three days late and I was three days early. I saw my midwife on Friday and was told that I am just 50% effaced, not dilated, and the head is "right there." So, any guesses? Joe is convinced it will happen between the 6th and the 11th, which I think is crap since that's, um, kind of a generous time frame, no? I have been told that the 18th is the latest they will let me go before inducing, but I'm really holding out for this week sometime, hopefully by the 6th. For one thing, 3/6/09 is a kind of cool date. That said any day the first week or March is probably a good birthdate, do you hear me in there child??
Ahem. So right. Yes, I am large and uncomfortable blah blah blah but so much more than that I am just anxious to meet this little one who has been my constant companion these past nine months. Girl? Boy? Takes after mama or daddy? I can't wait to find out.
And either way this little blog will have so much more to report in the coming year.

Happy Anniversary! A year means you're an official blogger now and can never give it up!
And yeah, I can't wait for all my pregnant internet friends to have their babies! I think there's about three of you I'm constantly checking on at this point. But you're the most exciting because the gender is still a surprise! Come out, baby!
Oooh, 03/06/09 would be an awesome date!
I keep meaning to ask if you have any "gut feelings" about the baby's gender.
Hang in there, girly. These are going to be the longest days of your life, but it will be over before you know it and you'll be hit with the "WTF" stick over the head as you venture into your new life.
