countdown

nora likes to move around in sarah's stomach. she's now full term, and i think something like 6.5 lbs. her head is down which leave her feet to kick all around. she sometimes stretches out like if she was a cat. this makes sarah's stomach look strange and oblong. it's weird to think that she is so close to us in proximity...just a little bunch of centimeters away, and we have no idea of what she is like.
the due date is two weeks from tomorrow, which means basically it could be any time now. i appreciate my sleep each day knowing that my current definition of sleep will no longer exist shortly. but, i am stoked. i don't think i am ready. and and the same time i figure i'm about as ready as any other time, so...whatever--at this point she's coming so there's no use in trying to postulate about it. not sure if postulate is the right word there, but it sounds good. but, i am really excited. not too nervous, but that may change.
if you want, post me some 1 sentence words of advice, and i might like it.
