Today's the day! well, probably not...

so today is baby girl's official due date! i don't feel any different and neither does she. they say that when labor happens, it's as if nothing's going on and then all of a sudden, everything's going on. guess we'll have to wait and see. today is jon's last day at work before he starts paternity leave and mom will arrive on monday 12/11 and stay through christmas so she can help out with the baby when she does come. although i want the baby to come when she's ready, i'd prefer if she chose to do that sometime early to the middle of next week. it would be a huge bummer to have my mom here to help me and all we do is sit around for 2 weeks waiting for the baby to arrive...

i am betting on the fact that i won't go into labor tonight and i'm planning to take jon out to dinner. this will probably be the last nice dinner out for a while and i want to do a little something for jon to express my appreciation for how well he has taken care of me throughout this pregnancy. from braving the baby registry at "babies r us" (a 4-hour trip during a heat wave when it was 112 degrees outside, with not one, but two pregnant ladies!), to comforting me through the trauma of the labor and delivery videos at the child birthing class (um... ew!), he really has been a rock star. although i think things have been a little wacko for him lately, i know he's ready to be a daddy and it's really exciting to see. i can't wait for him to meet the little one.
