Tick tock

I am approximately 59 hours away from giving birth. Impossible. But there it is, a clock just ticking away. I'm very excited, and a little nervous (the last time I had a c-section the spinal block paralyzed me from head to toe for 10 minutes. Not an experience I'd care to repeat.) This will probably be the last blog post I can manage for a bit, save pictures of the new little man, so I have a few random tidbits for the occasion:

- We named the baby. Hallelujah. His name is Aaron Matthew. Apparently Matt was secretly favoring that all along and holding back on me--why, I have no idea. I finally called him out and he confessed. It was at the top of my list too. It's a relief to have that decision made.

- Two of my three sisters-in-law are at my house right now. They are both teasing me pretty heavily. I forgive them both, however, because Siobhan baked me a ridiculous cake (good ridiculous) and Renee is supplying brilliant artwork for Aaron's nursery. I miss sister-in-law #3. Patty, come on over!

- Matt gave me my pre-birth pedicure. I love that man.

- Because my mother has been harrassing me for days to do it, I texted a picture of my pregnant self to my aunt Linda tonight. She called immediately, and when I said hello she jumped right in by yelling "You're HUGE!" I love you too, Linda.

- I feel sure that my hands and feet are currently producing enough heat to cook something. It is so bizarre, and highly annoying. I can melt an ice cube in my bare hand in 15 seconds.

I'm sure there are more fascinating things to share, but right now I'm tired and hot and have a tiny foot lodged in my rib, so I'm going to stop here. I only have 2 days of pregnancy left in my life, and I am determined to enjoy them. Then the real fun starts. I can't wait!
