Baby Countdown

You see that little "Countdown to Baby" widget in the top right corner? It's so cute, isn't it? The girl looks like a super model wearing a strap-on pregnancy pillow. She's wearing a cute outfit everyday and the outfit fits perfectly. Her pants don't cut into her waist while falling down at the same time. And her belly stays the same size, day after day after day. She's never sitting on the couch eating chips or ice-cream. She never seems out of breath, and I never see her heading to the cabinet for more Tums. And right below her it says I only have 17 days to go.

I'll tell you what might have to go (well, besides me every 2 hours). . . that stupid, cute little tracker.

Here's me two weeks ago. I think I'm about twice that size now, or at least I feel it :)

Don't get me wrong. I'm ecstatic that I have a measly 17 days to go. I'm 95% of the way to the finish! However, seeing that obnoxious little tracker subtract one day at a time, SO slowly, is getting maddening. Also, knowing that with Tali, 17 days to go really meant 27 days to go is a little frightening!

Honestly, things are going well. The heartburn comes and goes. The restless nights and waking up with aching hips or ribs comes and goes too. I really can't complain. I'm just impatient!

So, I guess you'll know if next week is a good week or not based on whether the adorable little tracker girl remains . . . or mysteriously disappears.
