Baby Alert

We are officially on baby alert. I hit 38 weeks on Thursday, February 5. Four couples from our birth class already had their little ones. All were early and all have been boys so far. I wonder what the statistics are for first timers having early babies and percentage of boys verses girls.

When Mike and I heard about the first two having their babies, we started freaking out. It was a kick in the pants for us to get some stuff done. We got the car seat installed, I'm washing clothes, we took a trip to Greenville to buy ECU clothes for the baby, and we are going out on what could be our last date(s) as a couple. Now if I could only find time to make a freeze some dinners.

And now Mike thinks that every time I call, I'm going to say I'm in labor. I think we've got our plans in place should I be at work when it happens. My mom and dad are also "on call." Yes, I do plan to work up till that day. I want to be at home with the baby for as long as possible after the birth. Baby B, cannot wait to meet you in person.
