September 18th....1 more month!!!!

WOW....I can hardly believe we are one month away from our estimated due date!!! I say estimated due date because I have convinced myself that I am going to have Baby Austin 2 weeks late so if Baby A comes sooner....what a pleasant surprise:)
So how am I feeling?
ACHY.....very very ACHY! My lower back....but the HIPS are really where it's at....OUCH! I honestly feel like they are going to split in two and fall off. I know - I know - they are making room for that baby but really until you've had a baby you truly have no idea what is in store at this point! Thank you to those mommies that have told me that I will not remember these aches and pains once the baby is born and moreso how quickly all the aches and pains, swollen body parts, heartburn, etc....all disappear.
I am getting SO anxious to meet Baby Austin I really can hardly stand it! Michelle - thanks for the Christmas Eve comparison - It is SO true! There is such excitement, anticipation, and an element of surprise as to "What will we get - in this case will it be a boy or a girl?" I have a month of Christmas Eve nights ahead of me...I know it will be so worth the wait:):)

Ha - I was writing the date at the top of some meeting notes today and went "OMG - it's really already sept 18th! WHOA!"

You're in the home stretch and, while it could still be six weeks if you get to 42, it could also be zero weeks or even zero days. Heck, you could be holding Baby Austin this time tomorrow.

CRAZY!!!! :)

You think you are excited about meeting baby Austin just think about how excited Dad and I are. I think everyday about what he or she will look like. Brown eyes or green, light hair or dark. Oh my... I am counting the days til I get my hands on that little thing. Love Mom

Christmas in September! It's really hard to believe you are only one month away...how exciting. Since you have not found out if Baby A is a boy or girl, it's an early Christmas gift for everyone! ~Case
