9 Days To Go

Well, it's Sunday evening and I am headed into my last week of work. My maternity leave will take me until June 1st, but I think I may take the last three weeks off too. I'm feeling o.k. at this point, although I had a rough go of it on Thursday and Friday last week. The baby was doing something crazy to my tail bone and it hurt SOOOO bad. I was on the verge of tears pretty much the entire day on Friday (which made for such a productive day at work, let me tell you), but I woke up on Saturday and, miraculously, the pain was pretty much gone. Thanks, baby.
We went out to breakfast yesterday at a great place that makes western breakfasts, just like you can find at home. So good. Other than that, we have just been trying to spend as much time with Lucy as possible. She kisses her baby sister (my tummy) when we ask her to, but I don't think she has the faintest clue that there will actually be a baby entering her life in a little over a week. My parents arrive on Thursday evening and we are so excited for them to get here.
These pictures are from this afternoon before Pete took her out to play. I really wanted her to wear a barrette, but she likes looking at herself in the mirror and then taking it out.

Hey T, P, L and Schmoo 2,
Could Lucy be any cuter? I just love her little outfit. I am glad the tailbone situation is resolved. I was worried about you:( I can't believe Schmoo 2 will be here soon... I can't wait! I love you so much! Love quadrupled, Katy

Wow - the baby is coming next week! Best wishes that all goes smoothly. I'm glad your parents are going to be there with you guys. How special. Maybe you better have Pete post pics while you rest with the new baby once she's here. I can't wait to see her. Lucy is definitely a doll - and I know exactly what you mean about how fun she is. Every day is so fun around here too with Sophia.
