1 Month to Go

One month until Shawnna's due date and it is starting to set in that we are getting close to being parents. We are trying to enjoy these last couple of weeks and with Shawnna being told to take it easy she looks forward to getting out of the house every once in a while. The last couple of weekends we have headed to the mall for a little shopping but mostly just some walking and people watching.

There is something about an 8 month pregnant belly that brings a smile to people's faces. Shawnna had the four women working at Hallmark reminiscing about their children and grandchildren and of course they were so excited that we aren't finding out if it is a boy or girl. We also get a lot of smiles from people as we walk by, but sometimes the reactions are much funnier. As we were walking out of the mall yesterday there was a little (4 -5 years old) girl sitting on the bench and I saw her gawking at Shawnna's belly as we walked by for a good 30 seconds.

That's right, I'm so huge that kids can't help but stare !! ; ) It is nice to bring smiles to people faces. And even though they are complete strangers, it's nice knowing that people still get excited that we aren't finding out what we're having.
