Waiting and waiting and waiting....

Annabelle's hospital bag is packed...
Her car seat is in the car...
Colin and Tyler's bag is ready to go...
The nursery is done...
My bag is mostly packed...
I have a huge stockpile of diapers and wipes...
Now its time to wait....
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

With 3 more weeks until my due date, I am pretty much a ticking time bomb.  Apparently, I am a very cute ticking time bomb.  Anytime I venture out of the house, random strangers flock to my side to tell me how cute I am, to remind me how hot it is, and ask how much longer before I explode.  Last week I was honest and said, "I've got 3-4 more weeks."  Now I lie.  I tell everyone, "Any day now." It amuses me to see just how quickly they run from me.  For some reason, the knowledge that my water could break all over their shoes tends to make most people uncomfortable.  I don't really mind discussing my pregnancy with the world, in fact most of the time people make my day with their kind comments.  Its just really, really funny to see people's reactions to the any day now comment.  Besides, I'm kind of secretly hoping that if I say it enough times, Annabelle might take the hint.
