What do you miss while you are pregnant?

Nothing that isn't worth all the glorious minutes of growing a baby and the prize you get at the end. No laughing, I'm serious.

But since you asked, I've been compiling a list...

• Bending at the middle
• The ability to deal with minor disappointments without crying
• Eating when I want to, not when I think I should
• South Dakota Martinis
• Sleeping on my back

And for an update on Baby Girl...she is doing wonderful, at least I think she is and that's what the doctor tells me. I go for my 36 week appointment next week and the doctor offered to do an ultrasound to check position and size. I took her up on the offer and am so excited to see the little one again - we did not get to do this with Nate, so it should be neat. From there, I'll start going to the doctor every week for checkups. My hope (although of course I have no control, unfortunately:) is that she would arrive before Thanksgiving, but not too much before.

Her room is setup and I'm almost finished decorating. Clothes are washed, diapers are stocked, and bottles are organized. I think we are all ready, as ready as we can be for the changes that are almost here!

And yes, we officially have a name. But until she is born, only me, Scott, and the AirTran representative that booked our flight to Atlanta in January knows what that special name will be.
