Counting the hours...

So at this time, June 30th, 2008, Jen is nearly 40 weeks pregnant, and our baby is due on July 2nd...which is like 2 days away...
Are we ready? is anyone really ready? we read the books, took the classes, watched the tv shows... To be honest in this day and age we are probably better prepared compared to our parents, and they were more prepared than their parents... etc. etc. etc... Its amazing how much stuff we have accumulated already. Yep.. it think we're ready.. both mentally and physically.
Jen has been having practice contractions, although she doesn't think they are Braxton Hicks since her contractions are focused on the lower abdomen, whereas B-H tend to contract the entire uterus. So i think she's further along than Braxton Hicks...
Some of the pains she's been feeling off and on seem to be more intense than before. The pains she gets are also going into her thigh... and these are sharp piercing pains.
Each woman who gives birth should be given a medal by the president... this is not easy stuff.

Oh yeah, jen's belly button is gone. Its actually been gone for quite some time. There's nothing there now... except some darker skin where it once was... I can't imagine my stomach stretching like that. wild stuff!

Tonight we are going out to dinner with our neighbors John and Barbara. We're going to our neighbors restaurant to dine on tapas. (Omar Medioni's restaurant La Casa) . Should be nice. We'll ask the chef to put together something special for the pregger lady...
