Good Lord, I am actually going to have a baby soon. Does anybody else out there think that's weird? It was all this funny little experiment until the realization slapped me in the face this week that this baby is way more than a cute, round ball squishing my lungs and stomach. She's actually going to be a person...here...all the time.
I have to say, we are not close friends with reality these days. Tom has rows of champagne bottles set up in anticipation of getting his 'drinking buddy' back. As much as I long for a cool, limey margarita, I am not too sure I'll be sipping it in the car on the way back from the hospital. Tom and College Party Beth like to believe that I would, though. We all have to have something to keep us motivated, I guess.
E-Thor in the house! Literally. Yikes.

As far as sipping a cool margarita in the car on the way home...First, you aren't driving; the least Tom could do after this crazy experience is mix you up a drink to go. Secondly, 2 sips and you'll be into tomorrow anyway. I feel confident that soon, very soon, you'll be back in all your glory--and I better be there to enjoy it! (Well, maybe a few months later!)

Congratulations, Beth and Tom! Emma Christine is so beautiful, you must be thrilled to finally hold her in your arms. The pictures are really great, thanks for sending them out!
Best wishes,
The Ledger family
