We downloaded little countdown apps for our phones. Today, 143 days remain until we hit our due date. Which is just a guesstimate, of course, but it does give us a time frame in which our lives will change forever. Already are changing forever.
At this time, in years past, Patrick and I would be spending every weekend night out, hanging with friends, hitting bars and restaurants, going to the movies, staying up until dawn breaks. No more. Nope, we are lucky to be up at 11 PM nightly. Normally, we are hitting the sack around 9 or 10. And it is only once every few weeks that we make it out to hang with our friends, and never as late as in the past. But, just between you and me (and the millions of other people on the internet), I am ok with this change in lifestyle. Because I will be a MOM. And my desire to see the little face that is half mine and half Patrick's, well, that's pretty doggone important.
I suppose I am starting to show a little bit more. A couple of days ago, at Target, one of the associates asked when I was due. After telling her my due date, she informed me that all four of her children were born around the times of the full moon, and perhaps I should check out when the full moon will be. Which got me thinking, that is a viable suggestion. It is a proven fact that birth rates increase around the fully waxed moon. Hmm. So I hit up the Farmer's Almanac.
A full moon is expected a week before my due date, on December 28th, 2012 at 5:21 AM. The Full Cold Moon.
It's just a thought.
Plus, if this kid pops out before the new year, we get a tax deduction for 2012! Woot woot!
Baby Cakes, I promise, that's not the only reason your dad and I decided to have you. It's just a cherry on top.
