Sadly I have no pictures in action (unless you count me standing in the field), so you get the shot of our winning team and my man of the match photo with Gilly K.

Baby dropped last night. I can tell because all the sudden I can take a really deep breath again! It is amazing how easy it is to take for granted something like taking in a deep breath, and how good it feels when you haven’t been able to do it for a long time, and then all the sudden you can. So what does that mean? Well, nothing really. It might mean he is coming very very soon, or it might mean that he is just in position now. They …

47 more days until we meet our little guy, and we can’t wait!!! I broke down and weighed myself today, and while I won’t tell you the number (for fear of shocking you into a coma-like state), I will say that I am right on track.
