Blogophobia

I read too many blogs. I read one, which links to another, which links again, etc. All of a sudden I am spending my days reading about premature babies who didn't survive, babies who died from SIDS, babies who died from other things. Andy asked last night where all of this sudden worry was coming from and I told him. He's right, I need to stop reading them. If everyone stopped reading them then who would remember these children? Would their mothers and fathers just be out there talking with no one listening?

I need a break, though, from the new stories that pop up every day with something new for me to worry about. I am going to stop, at least until Luke is born, and at that point I'll probably only go back to The Spohr's blog. I can't surround myself with those stories, I'm not well-suited to the sad stories, especially not now.

In other news..... looks like we might have a baby on Tuesday, May 5th! Other possible date is still Monday, May 11th. I have a feeling it will be Tuesday. Actually, I have a feeling it will be before that but what do I know? Contractions are stronger today and more painful but still very irregular and nothing that I would consider to be serious. I'm not timing yet or anything. I can't say enough how ready I am. Everyone likes to ask me that... "Are you ready? Do you have everything you need?" If I don't have everything I need it's only because it hasn't occured to me that I need it. I probably have enough clothes to last him through middle school. I'm as ready as a person can be! Just waiting for a baby!!!
