Until he called, I could fool myself that I had all the time in the world because Felix and Kathy were my buffers, my litmus test, my spotted owl.  So long as they were pre-birth, I didn&#8217;t have a care in the world.  And what did they do?  They went and had their kid.<\/p>\n<p>Can you believe it?<\/p>\n<p>And you KNOW what that means, right?  I&#8217;m the next (and the last) sitting duck.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin and I have been pretty horrified by our birthing class and learning about how painful birth is and how may things can happen.  You don&#8217;t just pop the kid out.  There&#8217;s lots of crying and screaming and tearing that happens first.  Gulp.  In fact, after our last class, Kevin looked at me and said, &#8220;how do you feel about just scheduling a c-section?&#8221;  Yeah, it was that bad.<\/p>\n<p>So to distract myself from my upcoming ordeal, I&#8217;ve decided to throw myself into baby prep mode.  I hope by focusing on all the wonderful things that will happen once she&#8217;s here, I&#8217;ll be able to distract myself from the upcoming delivery.  To that end, we&#8217;ve started painting the baby room and re-arranging our house to make room for baby.  She&#8217;ll be here before we know it!
