The L.A. Dime

Our official due date of September 8th is only 3 short weeks away but our doctor seems to think that it could be any day now. Little Sophie is about 7 pounds now and her head’s been “down” for a few weeks now. The nursery is all set and even though you can never be truly prepared/ready for this adventure, I do feel like Brad and I have done all we can to be as ready as we’ll ever be. We often talk about what she’ll look like, what her personality will be like, and how we’ll handle the sleep-deprived days. Nevertheless, the car seat is installed, the hospital bag is packed, the various routes to the hospital have been planned out (based on time of day and day of week), the list of people to call is ready, and the diapers are ready to be used.

Brad has been practicing swaddling (although I guess it’s a little different with a baby than a stuffed animal), and I am just so lucky to have someone like him who is not only super excited, but always so extremely thoughtful and helpful with whatever my current crisis might entail.

I’m feeling pretty good, although the heat is a bummer. My feet are a bit swollen and standing up sure is fun, but overall, I’m pretty lucky with how I’ve felt for the most part of these last 6 months.

Ok then, so the final countdown is on…keep your phones on as we’ll be calling when there’s news to report!
