The Last Friday Before…
I know you’re totally getting sick of me saying, “This is the last time I {insert random event here} before AndyZ gets here!” But…Today is the last Friday before AndyZ gets here! Next Friday I’ll be struggling to walk around a hospital room while recovering from Morphine withdrawal. Yay!
I got to hold Penelope again yesterday. For the few seconds she was in my arms yesterday I could smell what I’ll have in a mere six days. And I got excited. Sometimes with the ins and outs of the daily routine of chasing a toddler and working and running a house – I forget to get excited. I mean – how lucky am I? I’m about to bring my third child into this world. I often talk about how I feel like life has given waaaay more than I deserve considering the black marks from my past – but today? I’m just excited. Another baby. In my arms. IN SIX DAYS.
On a more serious note: I went last night to get some snacks for our campout tonight. I ate them all before I went to bed. Except for one pack of poptarts, which I ate this morning. I am quite proud of myself.





Oh wow I am so excited for you, really I am.
Phooey to black marks in the past, we all deserve to love and grow. You deserve everything you have Ms Zoot because you’ve been brave enough to get out there and create it. I don’t know you in real life, but on this blog you shine out as a kind person.
Enjoy your last Friday before you become a mom of 3
OOOOOO pop-tarts sound delicious right now… I scheduled for 6/26 and I can totally empathize with the whole COUNTDOWN…
b/c I can’t wait either…
This is my first!!!
I went to get a poptart out of the vending machine this morning and it gave me pork rinds.
How excited must you be? there are only a few more days till that little guy is in your arms!!
Have fun at the botanical gardens. I’ve been reading your site for quite a few years now and enjoying your pictures and just wanted to thank you for sharing.
I can’t have children, and am waiting to start the adoption process, so reading about women going through pregnancy and seeing newborns is really comforting. Oh and I love that your site always has a positive vibe!
you are the model of restraint with those poptarts. at 9+ months pregnant, just knowing there was one more pack would’ve kept me awake all night.
Today is the last Friday before I go on maternity leave. Thank heaven!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend as your party of 4, next weekend- PO5! YAY!
Wow time has flown! Well for those of us who are reading and not living it everyday!
Anyway congratulations! I’m so very very excited for you!
This is the kind of thing I like to read about and at the same time makes me a little sad that I will never know such joy.
congratulations on the last preggo friday! i’m crossing my fingers that everything goes as smoothly as possible.
Have fun on the camping out stuff! I can’t wait to hear all about it/see the pictures (of the camp out, and of the new little man).
I think AndyZ is coming on May 22 according to your calculations. If that is the case I get to share a birthday with him.. Welcome fellow Gemini! I can’t wait to see pictures of you!
So I guess another trip to Super Target has been squeezed into your day.
I [heart] PopTarts. Unfrosted Strawberry, toasted. I keep a box in my desk drawer. At work. I’m not there now. RATS!
the snack bit made me laugh out loud…
