hello in there?

i realize i haven't posted in quite some time, and people must be wondering what the story is with the bean. i think from now on i will need to check in daily so that i don't get a million emails or texts that ask if i've gone into labor. not that i don't love hearing from everyone, but i have this feeling that he's going to be sticking it out a while so i think it best for me to be the one to let people know what is up.

well, no contractions yet, no labor yet, and no baby yet. today is supposed to be the day, but the little guy seems to be content in the womb. two of his buddies popped out a little early - my friend cc had her beautiful daughter 11 days ago, and my friend from work monica had her gorgeous little boy 4 weeks early! i don't think baby k realizes that all of his friends are waiting for him outside! either we have a stubborn little guy, or we have a kid who knows a good thing when he's got it. i guess we are finally almost to the point where we are ready for his arrival. we have to put the finishing touches on his room, but other than that we are pretty much ready for him to get here. finally. i feel like it took a lot of preparation, emotionally and physically. it is so worth it, though. i can't wait to see him and hold him.

i stopped working this week, which is an awesome feeling. thursday was my last day in the office for three months! woo hoo! i was working my butt off this last two weeks though. being in a hectic office setting for 10-11 hour days is not good for a 10-month pregnant lady! and hauling files to and from court was a little much. but now i don't have to think about it until may. that is so great. and everyone at work was wonderful, really. they threw us a surprise baby shower at one of my fave restaurants, my florist cafe, and had gifts and cake back at the office. i can't believe i've only known them about 3 months. it seems like much longer. i won't miss work and appearing in court, but i will really miss my coworkers while i am gone.

so now i guess we just wait for him to make his entrance. it is a weird feeling, knowing that at any moment our lives will change forever. but it is such a great feeling too. i know that everything will be turned upside down for a little while, especially while we are all adjusting to life as a family of three. but i just can't wait to meet this little one and let the adventure begin!
