Books, baby clothes, and the need to buy diapers

yesterday the floor guy at work said, "man I give you two more weeks before that baby come!" Now, I feel that highly unlikely, and I am starting to feel like I will probably just keep being pregnant forever, well past Feb. 2nd. There is still something perfect and sweet about being pregnant and feeling the baby move in the morning when I am getting up, or kicking around while we eat dinner. I still try to remind myself not to get too tired of being pregnant because this state in life only happens so many times, and only lasts so long before it is over and done with. That being said, it is fairly normal that women go into labor around 35, 36, and 38 weeks, and it has dawned on me that we have yet to buy diapers! I feel that we have enough little shirts and things to get us by for the immediate bringing home of baby, but the need for huggies is sort of obvious. I keep thinking that I will do it all after Christmas, the shopping for mundane kind of essentials like that, so it would behoove this child to stay put until after the holidays, or face a life of bare bottomness. Either way, I feel the count is on! only 7 or so more weeks to go!

hope this works-never blogged before! Maybe that baby will arrive early Jan like the 6th(myB'day) or the 8th(Elvis!) Take it easy and try to get off your feet. How big is baby going to be?
