Last day at PB&H

Today was my last day of work at Pattillo, Brown, & Hill.  It was a wonderful place to work.  I had the best bosses in the world, and my coworkers were great.  They have been such a blessing in my life for the past three and a half years.  I didn't think I would cry, but the moment I stepped out the front door, the flood gates opened. (and here I go again...)  I'm so excited about staying home with Emma, but I guess I'm just sad to be leaving behind such great friends.  Being 9 months pregnant and super hormonal probably doesn't help either!  I just have to keep reminding myself that it's not like I'm never going to see them again - I'm not leaving Waco and I left on good terms.  We can still get together for lunch; I'm just not going to see them every day.  So, to all of you that enjoy what you do and the people you work with, remember this: "To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God." -- Ecclesiastes 5:19b

We're just over two weeks away from our due date, and Emma seems pretty content to just stay in there.  Hopefully she'll change her mind soon - we're very ready to meet her.  I'm definitely feeling huge, but I really can't complain.  I get a little bit of heartburn, it's super hot outside, and my feet hurt if I'm on them for very long, but I'm not swelling very much, I'm sleeping relatively well, and I'm feeling pretty good overall.  When the doctor checked me at 34 weeks, my cervix had thinned some and had started to dilate, but at my last two appointments, nothing had really changed.  I've been having some contractions, but nothing strong or regular by any means.  But I still have a feeling that she's going to come early - maybe late next week?  Guess we'll just have to wait and see!
