Saturday is my official last day at work. I am very excited about it!! Actually, my excitement about quitting my job almost rivals the excitement of having a baby. I'm getting to the point where I'm distracted and scatterbrained while I'm working and also very tired by the end of the day (not to mention I have cankles and elephant feet). Here is a picture of my stomach from last week, complete with stretch marks and double chin.
Here is my "I'm neurotic" story for the week. The closer I get to having this baby, the crazier I get. Yesterday it was supposed to be snowy and icy on our way to work (for those who don't know, Matt and I always ride to work together). I have convinced myself that since I'm due in mid February, I will inevitably go into labor during a snow or ice storm. So, I was convinced that we would slide off the interstate on the way to work and I would go into labor in a ditch (and if it was icy, an ambulance may not be able to get to us). So I packed a bag with a blanket, a nasal aspirator (in case I needed to suction the baby), a bottle of Purell, dental floss (to tie off the umbilical cord), scissors (to cut it), bottled water and granola bars. I'm pretty sure Matt thought I was crazy, but he humored me and let me bring my bag with me with only a "you're going to leave that in the car once we get to work aren't you?"

Oh my GOD you are pregnant! I read it when you emailed me last week, but it didn't sink in until I SAW it. :) That is awesome! And hey, nothing like being overly prepared for anything, right?!

Lori, I did the exact same thing in December when I had to go to a work meeting at night and it was sleeting! I packed a bottle, a can of formula, a blanket, scissors, bottled water, and several other necessities in case I ran off the road and had the baby in the backseat! I totally understand!!!
