counting DOWN

I think I passed a major psychological hurdle in the past week or so: suddenly I've started counting down the weeks we have left (about 12!) rather than up through the weeks we've completed (over 27). Holy cow! Only about 12 more weeks!


So here I am this morning, lounging on the bed as I wait for my friend Ryan to call. My belly has gotten so big it's popping out of my maternity clothes!

I read somewhere that Baby probably weighs about 2# at this point, and that she will gain about 1/2# per week until birth (averaging 7.5# at birth). Crazy! Remember when I was worried that I wasn't gaining weight and that I didn't look pregnant?
