There are all these things to think about as this pregnancy thing comes to an end.

I need to write a will because now I have someone really special and important to leave things to, not just cats or my sisters or

(Over 7lbs now and we've still got about 2 weeks till the due date. If he's "fashionably late", I might need a c-section to get him out. Ugghhh.)

Don't let anyone scare you into "needing" a c-section to get him out. Those sonogram weight checks are notoriously wrong (they told my friend her son as 9+lbs and they took him two weeks early by c-section because of it. He was just over 7lbs, which is normal. Unnecessary surgery FTL.) Your body was made to do this sort of thing. Trust in it! There's even a school of thought that says the bigger the baby the less painful the labor, since your uterus doesn't have to contract so tightly to push out more matter that way. It makes sense in theory. ;)

I hope the little bugger stays put so you can enjoy SXSW. Also: your package should be going in the mail soon! Hopefully by this weekend.
