Well, we're here... less than a month till our due date!  I can't believe it's the end already.  Friday night, Lilly spent the night with Nana and I got to be a couch potato for the night!  It was great.  I slept in on Saturday, and woke up and cleaned... I mopped the floors, pulled almost all the blinds down and washed them, and also cleaned all the windows.  It feels great!  Bags are packed (except Lilly's) and we are ready to meet this little one!  Hopefully not for a couple more weeks, but either way, we are ready!!
