Well, not the BIG drum roll yet as we are still waiting for our BIG ultrasound where we will *hopefully* find out the gender of this little nugget. But we do need a drum roll nonetheless because at today's check-up, I got to choose baby's birthday! That was a really surreal thing to get to do, let me tell ya. I live life very much knowing that the best laid plans of mice, men, and pregnant women often go (astoundingly) awry, but if by some grand miracle everything does work according to our plans, then this next babe will be delivered on September 5th!

Bloglines and that little helper does an amazing job of allowing me to stay caught up with all my favorite blogs. I may not always comment, but I really am reading! I have a number of friends who have just recently entered the blogosphere, and I have also just stumbled across many in the past few weeks that are really great reading! I may never open a bound book again.
