40 Weeks

I'm reposting this as part of BOCA and The Parent Blogger's Network's blog blast on balanced living. It was originally posted on August 21, 2007.

Today was my due date. Tomorrow morning we head to the hospital to be induced. Today we spoiled Sam rotten, feeding him french fries and ice cream and giving him presents. I cried almost non-stop. Knowing that today was our last day as a family of three was a bit heartbreaking at moments. All of the moments, really.

Once we're in the recovery area, we'll be online again, so even though I can't live-blog from L&D, I'll be back soon! Until then, I'll leave you with this photo of me in my maternity bathing suit:

Suzanne over at Campaign for Unshaven Snatch (CUSS) and Other Rants has started the Swimsuit Brigade. The intention is to showcase what real women look like in swimsuits, no airbrushing allowed! Plus I wanted to get one final shot of the big pregnant belly. As I said earlier, I spent a good portion of the day weeping, so please forgive the puffy eyes.

The next time I see ya'll, I'll have a new baby! Eeeps!
