In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Only three more days to go!

Only three days left till Baby Day, after today. I’m so excited.
I had my last doctor’s appointment today. I didn’t actually even see the doctor. She had to go over to the hospital right after I got put in a room so she could deliver a baby. I saw the n/p instead. She said everything was good, and I was about 1cm dilated. Everything is a go for Monday morning. I’m so excited.
After I left my appointment, I went over to the hospital to visit my friend and next door neighbor. She had her baby on Tuesday. It was exciting, because she didn’t know what she was having. It was a little boy. She and I have been pregnant together all three times (her first baby died, though), so we will have five kids under five between us after Monday. We are trying to populate the neighborhood all by ourselves. I didn’t actually get to see the baby, though, because he was gone to be circumicised. I’m looking forward to seeing him after they get home. They named him Collin.
After that, I went to Babies-R-Us to get Little Man an outfit to wear home. I ended up buying two, because I couldn’t decide. I also got my neighbor an outfit for her new baby.
Time is passing pretty quickly for me this week. The next two days are going to be busy, because I have to get all the stuff done that needs doing. I’m going to call and see if Seth will come stay with me a day or two and help me out. I just get tired so easily. I have gained close to 35 pounds with this kid, so all that extra weight is really getting to me. I can’t wait until I can start getting rid of it.
For now, I think I need to go get a drink. It is hot out there today! The radio said that it was 91 degrees with a heat index of 96! I’m so glad this pregnancy is almost over. I can’t imagine being pregnant much longer in this heat!
