Only 100 days to go until baby is expected to arrive! And given that only 5 percent of babies are born on their actual due date, for all we know it could be sooner than that {though I hope not much sooner of course}! Can I get a YIKES?!
Although this pregnancy has felt at times as if it's been passing by too slowly -- mostly due to my pregnant-after-a-loss nervousness and never-ending physical symptoms {yes, nausea, I'm talking to you!} -- the 100 day countdown makes me realize that it's passing by much too quickly! We still have soooooooo much left to do to prepare for our little one's arrival. There are classes yet to be taken, birth plans to be decided, registries to finalize, a small nursery to fix up from paint to furniture, books to read, exercises to be done, time to be spent with one another as a twosome before we officially grow our family into a party of 3... I'm overwhelmed just thinking about all we want or need to do in the next 3 months! But I know that time will keep passing, and there's nothing I can do about that, except to try and enjoy every minute of waiting for this baby that Shep and I both already love so much.
P.S. -- This isn't the first time this clock has marked an exciting countdown for us. We used the same timer {with a different face plate} as we anticipated our wedding day, just about 5 years ago! Here's a "throwback thursday" photo:
Let the countdown continue!
