Mondaily with factory update.

Guppy countdown: 1 week.

That is pretty panic inducing, if I think about it too hard. I mean, I'm excited, and I'm eager to meet her, and my internal organs will be VERY happy to have their space back, but my whole life is about to dump upside down and backwards, and I have not crossed off everything on my list to do. Not even close.

She's still as squirmy as ever, and trying to orchestrate her escape directly out of my side.

Much running around to do this morning - post office, shopping, doctor and gym... though my gym visits are getting more and more 'token'... mostly I just play a round of basketball with Jake and then take a very short steam and shower. It's just too awkward to do most of the weight machines, anymore, and I don't have a lot of energy left for the elliptical. Even after making Jake chase all my missed shots.

Programming to do this afternoon when I'm back, and some orders to fill. Also, time to close up my Amazon shop and turn off ordering across the site(s) and fix up my auto-reply.

Okay, time to get ready to go into town!

Keep breathing! It's entirely possible it won't be as awful as we've led you to believe! (We like to prepare for the worst, after all!)

Ellen, I am so excited for you :D
And I wish you a calm week as far as it goes and a wonderful special event :D I hope to be next in, say 2013 or such, so I'm really excited when people around me become beautifully round.

so exciting :)

Did you decide on a middle name, or at least narrow it down to some finalists?

You'll be brilliant! Just remember - every contraction you have is one you'll never have to have again! ♥

It will all be fine. Its the weirdest and most wonderfully surreal experience to have a baby. Then you get to look back on it and go "I did that!" "I made that baby!" "WOW!"

Try not to stress about not being prepared. It's an odd dichotomy, no matter how much you're prepared, you'll still be surprised, but no matter how unprepared you find yourself, you'll still do fine. Arguably this is coming from a non-Type-A person, but still. What do they say, "life is what happens while we're making plans" or some such jazz...Humanity has been doing this for millennia without most of the technology and scientific understanding we have now, and they made it through it just fine. Having Jake as your ally and advocate should help a ton too. :)
