On the Verge of Something Great...

I feel it...I don't know if every first-time mom feels this way toward the end of her pregnancy, but it really hit me over the last few days that my life is REALLY about to change very soon!  It's all been pretty surreal up until this point, but it is finally all becoming real.  I love feeling his little kicks inside of me, but I'm just ready to meet this guy!

I love watching the way Grant is changing too.  Although I know he is having headaches and neck pain due to the increased stress surrounding impending labor, it is fun to watch him get really excited to meet Baby Hanson.  It is almost comical how he can hear me two floors apart in our house if I make a grunting noise and run to my side asking, "Are you okay?!  Can I do anything?  Is it contractions??"  I love having such a supportive, caring husband.  I know he will be a great daddy!!

Speaking of contractions, nothing real big or noticeable yet, but I'm hoping soon!  I must say that my vote for D-day would be on the 11th, then he'd have the cool birthdate of 1/11/11.  And not to mention he'd share a Birthday with his Grandma Hanson.  I know he'll come when he's ready though, and that's all that really matters!

Well, that's about it for now.  Not much news on the progression, except that Grant and I are overwhelmed with excitement to meet this little bundle!
