[My Peanuts]

Won't be long now!

I can't wait for new baby announcements. Those are my favorite threads.

[critter crazy]

Oh wow!! you msut be so excited!! I miss those days!! woohoo a baby soon!!!!

It won't sink in until you have him and they place him on your belly for you to meet for the first time. I swear, time stood still for those few moments. It was surreal.

Not much longer now!!

GOSH you make me want to cry!! I *think* about meeting him for the first time... but I never *thought* about it like that before...

ARHGGHHG I really don't think i realize what all i'm in for. I wish I could quit thinking about it.... I feel like I scare myself thinking about it....

[Samantha Puppy]

I hope not a bad cry! I know you're scared and nervous and all that - I was too (there'd be something wrong with you if you WEREN'T) - but after the shock of it all wears off, it really does get easier the more you two learn each other. Honest.

I think meeting them for the first time is the most exciting part. Up until this morning, I thought I might be pregnant again and all I could think about was the moment where they lay the baby on you and you make eye contact for the first time. Just thinking about it gave me shivers! I can't wait for it to happen again... It's addicting!! LOL

[Uabassoon]

I'm excited for you! I know you are going to make a wonderful mom, you are such a sweet and caring person. I also think that you should really try to have him on May 25th That's a good day for a baby to be born!

It is really scary. When I had my first one I has no idea how life would change, but honeslty, no matter how hard things have been at different times, I wouldn't take any of it back. As soon as you see that baby it relaly will be like time stands still for a minute. It's hard to explain but you will feel completely at peace. Congrat's on being almost done! It's a long road heheh.

I think that is EXACTLY what I felt. And, it isn't easy. AND, eh, some of it is really tough at times. But, it is awesome.

Where are the pics?

[ramanth]

Ohhh!!! Exciting! And I want to see belly pics!

[Cookiebaker]

Me too!! Pictures please.

Also, count me confooozed, but why does your counter say you have 56 more days, if there is only one month to go (and to my pea-brain) that is 30 days; or even less if it 4 weeks @ 7 days = 28 days?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hmmm....8 months along means only 1 month to go!

I can only imagine how scared and excited you must be all at the same time. However, like everyone else, I know you will be the best mommy out there, so try not to worry too much.

[Laura's Babies]

A year from now you will wonder if there really was life before him... It will be so much fun watching him explore his new world, discovering things for the first time, learning things... Such an exciting time!

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Thanks everyone so much for your supporting words.!!

I went to the doctor and she said everything is perfect... except I've gained a little too much weight. But *OH WELL* .. I don't know what else to do.. I don't eat a lot of fried foods and have almost completely cut out sweet tea and fruit juices.

*******************

I have decided on the name Alden... I just need a middle name.. I think i've chosen Chase.. .. I dont' know.. picking out a name is harder than I ever thought it would be...

***********************

a little over a month to go.. Hopefully he will be a good boy and not be late!!
