Week 11...Still Emotional!

I have passed a big milestone today! (Well, I think it is a big one) On my pregnancy countdown on the right side of the screen-it says we have 199 days left until we meet our little bundle of joy! 199 days! That's under 200! Wow! Pretty cool!

Well, this week the baby is the size of a lime! We went out with one of my very best friends and her boyfriend the other night and she had a margarita in honor of my little lime! And the guys got beer that came with limes too...although they quickly ditched the lime! You know fruit with beer isn't very manly! Then my friend had another margarita for me! That's true friendship right there! Love ya!

Anyway, the baby's eyes are completely developed now! Wow! A lime with eyes! That's kinda scary!

Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.

I have no doubts that we will have an absolutely adorable baby!

And yes, I am still very emotional. This morning I heard a song on the radio that seriously made me get some tears in my eyes.

It's a country song about being in high school and when the boy goes and picks the girl up for a date and her dad has a talk with him.

Come on in, boy, sit on down,
and tell me 'bout yourself.

So you like my daughter, do ya now?

Yeah, we think she's something else.

She's her daddy's girl, her mama's world,

She deserves respect, that's what she'll get.

Ain't it son?

Now ya'll run off and have a little fun.

I'll see ya when ya get back,

I'll probably be up all night,

Still cleanin' this gun.

This is SO not a song that would make a NORMAL person cry! So there I was just driving and singing along then all of a sudden I thought about if we have a girl. This is going to be the way Tom will be. I can just see it!

But the part that really got me is the "she's her daddy's girl, her mama's world". Wow, I am getting choked up again.

I am so ready to meet our little baby! I just can't wait!
