I have news!

Congrats to you and the little one, McK. Here's hoping for an easy birth and a robust child.

Post some pics when you can.

Eight more weeks and baby will be here! All is still going well, it's been a very, very healthy pregnancy with no complications; baby is in the 77th percentile for height and weight, (so far as they can tell these things from an ultrasound, anyway). I'm starting to worry about my mom's horror stories of delivering my 9 lb, 14 oz brother.

Baby's room is finished, and except for a few smaller purchases, I think we have everything we need. I've sewed, crocheted, and knitted more in the last nine months than I have in years! It's been good to succumb to those nesting instincts though.

In other news, I cut off 12 inches of my hair, a symbolic gesture for me. When I was still a teenager I told my family I wasn't going to cut my hair until I had my first baby. Except for a few trims through the years, I kept to my word. Cutting my hair symbolized all the changes I'm going through, and all the changes I've yet to go through as I adapt to my role of "mother." Also, this way baby has less to grab and yank!

Now I'm just waiting for maternity leave and/or labor to start, and trying not to be too impatient about it. Not easy! Can't wait to hold my little one in my own arms.

Lucky child to have you for a mum!

Good luck to you!
