Looky!

  • Take a gander at ye olde sidebar. I am in the SINGLE DIGITS now. Woohoo! Only 9 more days to cover. I feel safe saying I will see my baby's photograph before Christmas...of 2008!!! I can hardly believe it. It is wonderfully surreal.
  • Okay, that was my selfish moment. On a wider scale, congrats to all seeing their baby faces this time around and my heart is with you all on the cusp for next time. What a roller coaster and it only gets wilder towards the end of the ride. I suppose one could say even I could be next but I could also wake up and find out I became Tyra Banks overnight (not likely on either point). But, some very wonderful people are coming up soon for referrals and I can hardly wait to get a looky loo at those kiddos.
  • I continue to drop weight without too much ado (so much nervous energy and not much appetite). Yippee on that front. I have no doubt I will meet my personal goal weight by the time I meet my kidlet....then I can run after her for exercise. I DO think the wee one is going to be an excellent weight management plan.
  • In case you're wondering, that picture is to show you just how serene I am. It is all a wicked lie because I am more like the inside of a cement mixer right now but I was hoping looking at the photo would 'rub in' a little of that peace.
  • Great googly-moogly! I'm gonna be a mama-in-action before I turn another year older (that would be February).
  • Ahhhh....a nice, leisurely bubble bath with a book sounds great right now. I better stock up on that plan while I can.
  • I am in the NEXT LID GROUP for my agency! Dancin', I tell ya. I'm dancin'.

Time to turn up "Brick House" or something similar and boogey it up! Then grab some cucumber slices, put them over your eyes and take a nice snooze. And remember what that feels like for the next 18 years!
We are so thrilled you are going to finally become a Mama!

Linda said...

Dancing with you!! Donna is the 17th and we hope to be dancing in Nov. since our happy dance needed to be postponed this month.. So near, but yet so far!!..

2008 will be your year!!! I am getting excited for you.

And, if you don't make your weight goal by your referral, you will by the time you get back from China. If not then, by the end of your first month home.

Rhonda said...

As soon as I saw the cut-off, I immediately thought of you! I'm so excited for you, I can't wait to see a picture of your little one...

M :-) said...

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! I am getting so excited for you. There is NOTHING -- NOTHING like seeing your child's picture for the first time. (well, other than holding them for the first time ...!!!) WOO HOO! You're going to be a Mommy before you know it.

Oh, and just wait until you travel. (weight loss program) If China is anything like Korea - you will be walking until your feet fall off. I felt like I was 190 years old by the end of our trip. (and I was only 29!)
