January 4, can we make it 31 more days?

"It is one month until my due date, though technically I don't turn 36 weeks until the 7th. I wonder how much longer this little one is going to hold on.

One of my pregnant buddies' due date was Jan 6 and we were joking about racing to the finish just a few days ago (she was starting to get antsy and tired of being pregnant). I checked in yesterday and was told by her husband that the contractions were 5 min apart. Well they made it to the hospital just in time for the nurse to CATCH their baby on HER way out.

Add another girl to the baby count. Congratulations to Emily and Jason! But 16 min from leaving the house to having the baby is a little too close for comfort for Ross and me. And the fact that Emily didn't ever push amazes me, especially for a 7 pound 2 ounce kid. Wow! I hope my pushing is almost as easy . . . at least easier than it was with Jackson that's for sure. Time will tell."
