Doing better! Thanks for the encouragement!!

After talking to my boss this morning and working out that Friday will be my last day at work with me working exclusively from home next week, I feel SO much better. I was stressing out about having to sit up and perform at work after having contractions and sleeping very poorly each night. Now that concern is put away, I feel like I can make it through two more days, and Olivia can just take as much time as she needs to grow and prepare for the world. It's amazing how far she's come these nine months! What's a few more days? (I can say that now that I can lay down every few hours and take the pressure off my pelvis! She is definitely my tiny dancer.)

I know I am doing better because I can appreciate the beautiful weather we are having here today--sunny and cooler, I can appreciate how nice the flowers look flowing in purple waves out of the pots on my porch, and I can appreciate how the air feels on my big pregnant belly when I get a breeze flying up between the gap in my pants and the front of my shirt. Life is good. I know that I live a charmed one. I can hardly wait (but I can wait) for Olivia to see and feel all these wonderful things.

Thanks for the comments and the emails and the calls! I REALLY appreciate the encouragement!
