9/19/08I have been thinking about "just the two of us" and have been enjoying these last few days (moments, maybe) of just being Laura and Brent.
I have so enjoyed our four year marriage and am blessed with Brent as a husband and friend. He's wonderful and we have had a great time together so far - just the two of us. We have had adventures and vacations, new experiences and our new home, fun with friends and family, and simple fun together. Now a new chapter begins .... and we can't wait.
Brent took me on a date last Friday - we went to dinner at Lucy's Bar & Grill and afterward we walked downtown Grosse Pointe and window shopped. Then off to Babies R Us we went, my new favorite store. Had the last few necessities to buy and I had coupons! Now I can't think of a thing that we need - just need the baby now.
No regular contractions or anything too exciting to report. I'm feeling pretty good overall, just anxious and waiting. I have cramps now and then, but nothing happens and we carry on. Baby is still pretty active and at a particularly active moment yesterday I told the baby that we're all ready for him/her. My cousin Jessie guessed Sept 26th, a 7.5 lb baby, and that it will be Anna. My in-laws were here this weekend to visit and they say I won't last the week and maybe a baby before Friday. Today, is my Great Grandma's birthday and she would have been 100 years old. And it's the first day of autumn, which is my favorite season. So, today would be cool to share with Great Grandma and the start of fall, but I'm not getting the vibe and don't think it will be today. Time will only tell .....
I also think about after I have the baby and when I won't be pregnant anymore. I get a little sad thinking that I won't be carrying the baby and the baby won't be safe and close inside anymore. I will miss the kicks and shared feelings and movements that only baby and I feel. What an amazing experience this pregnancy has been. But when I think of meeting our baby, finding out if it's our Anna or Rowan .... only happiness.

We are waiting impatiently for Anna/Rowan to arrive. Can I guess when? Sept 29 at night and the baby will weigh 7 lbs 4 oz. And he will be Rowan Scott. With dark hair. Or he can be Anna and weigh more or less and be born whenever she's ready. :)
Love,
Great Auntie Joan
