It's a little past 5:30 a.m., and I've been awake the majority of the night. Here's the strange part. I'm not tired. I've been waiting for 5:30 so that I would could get up without bothering anyone else in the house.
The thoughts that have been running through my head range from the mundane (Oh no, did I leave the white chair on the balcony?... It's supposed to rain) to the neurotic (Hard candy! I haven't put any in my bag for the hospital!) to the legitimate (Hmm... Dr. Craig didn't tell me if she would admit me immediately after she examines me tomorrow, and I can't ask her today because she's out). And that's how the night went. Meanwhile, bobbed -- WE ARE BRINGING A NEW PERSON HOME THIS WEEKEND, TO STAY -- in and out of thoughts as well.
I'm excited that in just a little over two hours, we'll get the last in-utero glimpse of the Bean. It is amusing how funny this is since I'll see, touch and smell the little one by Saturday. There's something at the same time sweet and sad about it though, knowing this is the beginning of a hopefully very full life -- with all the love, joy but also sadness this brings.
OK. I'll get off the sentimental train. My mom, dad, Even and I are about to leave for Baltimore. And because I'm a first-time mother, I'm doing things that some of you guys are probably giggling over. For example, today, we're making a little documentary of the last day before the Bean's arrival. I've already shot some "footage" ;-)
Getting down to the wire. Gotta run. I'll update with those creepy ultrasound pics upon our return!

... so this blog is evolving. With the Bean here and thriving, it's now more a kooky family blog told through Mom, which means it is broad and rambling, and hopefully a bit funny.

Good luck with the ultra sound. I know you're busy with your folks being in town, so I really don't want to call and interrupt - but if you get a minute and feel like a chat, give me a buzz. So are you officially scheduled to be induced on Saturday? What time? Please make sure Even calls me when you have the Bean. I want to come over to the hospital if that's okay. Love ya, Roseann
