It's laughable, really.

Mmm...nope! Still nothing!

For those of you not on FB, this was my status on Thursday:

Imagine - your task is to jump off a cliff, and you will land safely at the bottom with a whole new wonderful life. You must be ready to perform this task at any moment. Not only that, but you have to stand right at the edge of that cliff...for four whole weeks. And don't forget - STAY RELAXED. Yeah. Sound like fun? Welcome to my life.

We've been here for one whole calendar month now. We are actually going to still be here for the stupid Superbowl, which we never in a million years thought would happen. Sherry's leaving Monday morning (HEAR THAT, BABY? Wanna meet your Aunt Sherry? Then you need to come on out!!). We just keep trudging along, and the baby is slowly - every-so-slowly - making his/her descent. Like, reeeeeeeaaaallly slowwwwwwwwllllly. BUT! Progress is being made, he/she is kicking and moving a bunch, heart tones are good, my body's holding up well, but I wish sometimes that my body weren't so damned cozy for babies. Jeez. GET OUT already! What's WITH you babies, thinking that being warm and cozy and having everything on demand is so freaking awesome?! Good grief.

I have good days and bad days. Usually I can bring myself to write on good days, not on bad days, so that tells you something. Yesterday I crashed hard and just stayed in bed all morning and part of the afternoon, crying, sleeping, and staring at the walls. On the one hand, it was absolutely awful. On the other hand, what a freedom it is to have the support here to be able to do that! Still, it pretty much sucked - for me, and for my people here supporting me... and worrying about me. Today was better. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

I'd also like to stop here for a minute and pay tribute to my darling husband. While we've been here, we've reached the 10th anniversary of our first date. Those of you from the Indiana Crew who are reading might remember the Superbowl party at Cass & Kelly's house in Oakland, where I met some of Scotty's closest and oldest friends, all at once, almost exactly 24 hours after he and I had just met for the first time. Yep. We were pretty much inseparable from the start. And I can honestly say, I haven't regretted a moment of it.

I love you, Honey. Thanks so much for coming along on this ride with me. Lots of people still believe there will be an actual baby outside of my belly when we arrive safely at the bottom after our cliff-jump! I have my doubts, but time will tell... and I'm super happy I get to do it all with you by my side. I am one lucky gal.

Wow! What can one say? I'm thinking of you.
