jbaileyA few things happen to remind us that we'll be parents soon...
* Angie just suggested that perhaps we could take the gin and vodka that we haven't been drinking out of the freezer to make space.
* We put together a crib yesterday. Anything else could've been random Ikea furniture. But y'know, there's just no other use for a crib. (Or a child sized one, anyway...)
* Angie turning around in what usually would've been plenty of space, and sending a glass flying with the end of her belly.
* The steady stream of (welcome) conflicting advice from people who are already parents.
There's less than 3 weeks to go to the official due date, less than 5 to the maximum date permitted (In Québec, they induce if we get 2 weeks past the due date). Midwife visits are now weekly. Birth bags are packed. We just need to finish assembling the phone and email lists and ...
... wait. =)
Probably time for more Angie pictures, though. I'll try to take some later.

Don't take anything too seriously, no matter what the problem, it will pass and you will be fine.
Children are wonderful and life-defining. In my experience parenting is both harder and more rewarding that you will have imagined.
Enjoy your last weeks as a family of 2.
