One week and three days

Until go time, folks.

And I am excited.  very.  extrememly.  excited!!!!

What am I talking about?  Well, in one week and three days Jan 31 marks the estimated arrival of Platt baby #3.  And I can't wait to meet this little person (and kiss them....and pinch their little cheekers.....).  Course, we all know the thing about due dates.  They are silly things.  You get so excited.  You can't help but gear up for this date and......it turns out to be a no show. I almost wish they gave you a due zone.  You know, you should look forward to giving birth sometime in this 3 week period.  But I digress.

Point being, we are so in love with this little person already.  Wren loves to talk about how she will help the baby (bringing them drinks of water....for some reason that is the ultimate in helping when we get on the subject :)).  Judd can't wait to read the baby books.  Steve and I look forward to seeing this little mover.  This has been our most responsive little babe so far.  For my other pregnancies, it seemed as soon as Stevo put his hand on my belly to feel the baby move the baby got shy, but this guy LOVES to be the center of attention.  As soon as he feels any taps or even the pressure of a hand he pushes back, kicks his feet out and is generally social.  Who is this little person going to be? And, lets be serious, we're all excited to be done picking a name.   We're pretty set on a girl name but a boy name is a little more elusive for us.  We would love suggestions.

Here's to a super fast week and a half.
