Due date is here!

When Dustin left for school this morning he kissed me and said, "Happy Due Date!" It's as though we are celebrating a birthday...could this be the little rascal's birth day? Things would have to get going pretty soon...

It feels good to get to this day, but I am ready for her to be here already! She has been VERY active between 9 and 11pm lately...sometimes she moves around so much that it hurts. This means that she is getting too big and it is time to come out. Let the experimentation with the old wives' tales begin (spicy food, eggplant, herbal remedies, raspberry tea, walking, bouncing, SEX!, etc., etc., etc.!).

C'mon, Little Rascal, Mommy and Daddy are ready to meet you...

The Little Rascal

I went in for my 38 week appt on Friday and my doctor was trying to find the baby's heartbeat but she kept moving around, making it difficult (stubborn already, I know). Dr. Short then appropriately said to her, "C'mon, you little rascal." I thought to myself, what a perfect name for this baby! I went home and told Dustin and we decided that she really is a little rascal -- moving like crazy nowadays even though my mom told me that things "quiet down" after 36 weeks -- not this baby! Anyway, I thought it was an appropriate name for our blog. I hope to keep friends and family who are far away updated with this blog, as babies change so much and I don't know that I will otherwise be able to keep up! I hope you enjoy, and I will do my best to post pictures of our little rascal as she grows.

12 days until my due date.... :)
