39 WEEKS!

 For those of you who have been following along, thank you! Hopefully Gribble will have a name soon :)
We are almost there, just about a week until my due date. In reality that means Gribble could wait until Feb 15 to be born but I really hope not. I have been having very mild "early" contractions for a week now and I am very ready for the process to speed up. James and I are both very anxious to have our baby out here where we can hold and snuggle him/her.
Some of you know that I have been off work for just about two weeks. I am very lucy to be surrounded by people who are willing to help keep me occupied while I wait. The first week James and I kept very busy catching up around the house and this last week my friends Erin and Nicole have been kind enough to hang out:) I am also very lucky to have people around me that can give me advice and perspective about these last few weeks. I feel like it's taking forever! But they are right; I am trying to enjoy the last time in my life that I am not a parent, being newborn free, and still having me time.
On the other hand I am so looking forward to Gribble being here. Especially after I washed the newborn sized diapers! I cannot wait until I can use them!!!! I don't know if there is anything in particular that James is lookin forward to but he has been cleaning and organizing like a crazy person... I think he is Nesting ;)
James cousin Bekki did my maternity photo's last week and I can't wait to see them. She is also going to be kind and take our family photo's when the baby is a little bigger. And James mom  and Michael are coming out Feb 20, we can't wait.
That is pretty much all of the news I have for now. Cross your fingers for me, I am so ready for Gribble to be born!
