D-Day

Well the day I've been looking forward to since August has come.....and gone!!  Our precious baby boy was due to arrive yesterday; but apparently he didn't get the message.  I'm considering charging him a nickel a day overdue fee which is consistent with what I was charged at the Daniel Pierce library as a kid.  I think it's fair; no!?!

Even though we didn't have the little guy, it was my last day of school for six weeks and it was pretty wonderful.  One of the special education classes I work in threw me a party & the students' writing assignment for the period was to write me a "baby advice" letter.  The letters were filled with great words of wisdom like "feed the baby" and "don't leave the baby in the car."  After writing, we had donuts & listened to "baby" songs the kids picked like Usher's "There Goes My Baby."  LOL.  I love middle schoolers.
All is ready for my leave replacement and I feel like I can relax knowing that I got everything prepared for me to be out.  That's a pretty good feeling.

Last night we celebrated the due date/doing-nothing date with my parents, sisters, & the Knoxes.  I am so sad that he did not arrive while the Knoxes were in town.  Luckily they'll be back in just about two months & will be able to meet him then.

I'm still feeling pretty good.  I am a little bit uncomfortable but it's not unbearable.  I can still walk well, sleep enough to get through, and can't really complain at all.   (I think it's payback since I was 2 and a half weeks late, my poor mom!!)  John's been giving me foot rubs at night & I've been trying to relax as much as possible after work.  Now work is done and it's just a waiting game.  He has to come out eventually, after all :o)
