Waiting

The second biggest surprise when you are pregnant and don't know what you are having is the gender. The first, by far, is anticipating going into labor. The waiting game has started and every painful contraction I have or burst of cleaning energy I get I think, this could be it! True, the due date is still 2.5 weeks away. I just feel like this baby is going to come early!

One might wonder why I will be taking off for Steamboat this Sat. for a nice day of 8 hours of driving. Well, Chris is definitely going to the mountains, and more importantly than having the right doctors there for the delivery is having Chris there for the delivery. The timing of this wedding is not ideal, and it's something that has been on our minds since we got pregnant as the wedding has been scheduled longer than that. I think it's safe to go though. I'd cancel if these weren't good friends of ours who we haven't seen in years. They are having such an intimate wedding at their house that they have put hours upon hours of work that I can't even imagine doing into, and in all likelihood, this baby will stay in for at least another two weeks.

If not, what a memorable birth story to have. We go away for a day and come home with a brand new baby!
