Growing baby

Little baby boy Bixler is growing and growing, but I am not (at least not measurably), so he's running out of room fast! He tries to kick and I get a nice preview of Aliens 5... What fun! Just three and a half weeks til my due date at this point, which would panic me, except that now that my car seat is installed and my diapers.com order came in and I put together the anti-cat crib canopy (sorry, Theo) -- and I'm all paid up at the birth center -- well, NOW he can come!! But not too early, please, little man. I'd like a day or two off work before you appear, okay?

I'm going to start an unofficial poll of possible birth dates -- feel free to jump in! I think my mom chose Friday, July 18 (smart lady, it's a full moon, four days after my due date) -- not that you can't choose the same date as someone else. I, personally, am going for a pre-due date day, if only to convince myself I won't be pregnant forever... Whoever is closest will get a prize (really, there's really going to be a prize, I just haven't figured out what it will be yet -- how does everyone feel about a nice dishtowel with a hand-crocheted edge? I'm nesting with a vengeance these days...)
