wow. i have a car seat in my backseat and finally bought my fave petunia pickle bottom diaper bag in "misty shanghai" (those names crack me up). i'm a mom, just short a baby in hand. this is so weird.

i'm 38 weeks pregnant, kids. and yes, i have had plenty of the warning signs i hear about and know that this little boy is on his way, but, i'm not, in fact, in labor. so, we will just wait this out together. :) jay and i are taking walks every night to hurry this process along, and sometimes i swear i'm going to keep walking all the way downtown, straight to the hospital, in the hopes that by the time i arrive, he will be ready.

but seriously, things are good. i've had so many friends have babies in the last few days/weeks, (congrats to the trull, taylor, oneill, powell, and fogarty families...am i forgetting anyone??) which is making this whole waiting thing extra exciting! link, little buddy, don't you want to come meet your new friends and your mama???

hope to report some exciting news soon!

*side note: car seat question - do they go in the middle of the backseat?? we were thinking it would be easier to get in and out from one of the side seats of the car, but then we were thinking maybe they are supposed to go in the middle for extra safety? thoughts?
