Today is March 19. Due date is April 19. One month (or less) to go.

Hard to believe we'll be full term in about a week and a half! But not so hard to believe, really. I'm so ready to meet Asher. He's currently lodging a body part into my right rib cage, reminding me that he's getting big and will be here soon.

What I'm looking forward to:

• My pedicure tomorrow at The Umstead to celebrate Unt Melus's birthday.
• A beautiful spring weekend with Big Pappa.
• The cleaning lady coming next weekend for the big pre-Asher clean up.
• Sleeping on my stomach (and not wanting to smack Rusty for looking so cozy stomach-sleeping next to me).
• Regaining control of my sinuses and halting the snoring.
• A margarita!!!!
• Watching spring bloom around us, thinking it's the perfect time for new life.
• Meeting our son. Seeing his face and holding him in my arms. And watching his daddy hold him.

What I'm not-so-much looking forward to:

• Feeling huge from now until when he arrives. Continuing to swell and waddle and hearing people's diagnosis of how much I've dropped or how ready I look. (Yes, people, I'm ready and I'm probably going to look even more ready than you could imagine in the coming weeks.)
• Having a battle with my wardrobe every morning.
• Bathing suit time.
• The scales.
• Lack of sleep. For the rest of forever. Starting months ago.

I'm going to stop babbling now.
