nineteen.

we just got back from a visit to the doctor.

homegirl is growing right on schedule.

six pounds and a quarter.

there is a 

s i x p o u n d

human living inside my belly.

how weird is nature?

cory asked me to "make a normal face."

this was the result. i'm hopeless.

i also set up our last appointment

before she hops on out and joins the party.

it's weird to think that we are two appointments away

from meeting this little girl.

after two more appointments,

little cries and coos will bounce around our little home.

blankets and diapers and tiny socks will litter our floors.

i will be exhausted and will probably forget to shower,

but i will be happy.

two appointments

and i will finally be everything i ever wanted to be.
