Let the final countdown begin! 1w5d to go!

I spoke with EM last night and she said a contraction woke her up yesterday morning and then they continued all day. They weren't close enough to do anything but muddle through the pain, and they weren't really getting stronger, so most likely it was just false labor. But she has a Dr appt today so we'll see if she at least was beginning to make some progress. Oh, how she is so ready to have this baby!

I am fighting some form of head cold (really, now? Come on, universe, you have got to be kidding!) and being a total hypocondriac. I'm out of town right now, but this is my last trip (fingers-crossed!!!!) until I go back to work in June. I cannot wait to get home. Then EM can call whenever she wants and we will be all set for baby! Well, at least I'll be home to finish working on the last page of To-Do items, in between actually trying to work my real job. Thank goodness I work from home!

More to come...but any day we could be parents. So amazing.
