Countdown to baby time... [ARCHIVE]

5 or so weeks to go and counting... As far as pregnancies go, I have not had it so bad. I skipped the morning sickness pretty much entirely and, other than increasingly uncomfortable nights and some minor swelling, I've "breezed through" as much as that is possible. (Hey, pregnant is pregnant... it's never REALLY easy.) SO, we are, as the saying goes, in the home stretch. I cut my hours down, so I am now officially working 30 hours a week instead of 40. I also worked my last shift at the hospital, until after the baby, last Saturday. The nurses threw me an amazing surprise shower, and any necessities for the baby that were conspicuously absent have now been accounted for.
