1. did you make this list bc you're sick of being preggo? Or just to keep forever?
2. tiny people!!!!!!!!!!
3. Dang it. There was something I was gonna say in response to one of those 50... oh well. I'll call you later and tell you it.
You're going to have a baby!!!! I'm so excited over here! Everyone of my roommates even knows you're full term right now!
Now there's a thoughtful creative list. Fun to read to. I remember all the excitement of being ready for my first little angel. I am so excited for your new little one. She has beautiful hair for all the bows:) And great big beautiful eyes. I could just sit and stare at a newborn all day, whether they're asleep or awake.
What a fun list! I'm so glad you enjoyed being prego. Your little girl is such a gorgeous angel! Congrats to you both.
Funny that this was my last day of being pregnant! Ha ha!
