Well, it's time.
No, really. It's time. We're going into the hospital shortly and not coming out until ... until, well, we've got a baby to bring home.
I had the ultrasound today and not only is the baby in the much smaller percentile (umm, 2nd?), but the placenta looks as if it's not getting as much nutrition to the baby as it should be, so keeping it here on the other side of my belly button for the next two weeks wouldn't do it any favors.
Me? Nervous? HAhahahahahaha...(that's me laughing uncontrollably). Oh. My. Freaking. Gods.
Holy Crap!!!
Erm...see ya' on the flip side!
(darn it, I had a hair appointment tomorrow, I still haven't finished the baby sweater...sigh...)
Oh my goodness! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
love you guys. i'm on prayer alert, if you know what i mean AND I THINK YOU MUST BY NOW.
God bless, take care.
love from leila
holy moley!!! so exciting! thinking of you so much. can't wait to hear the good news. lots of love, the ishikawa's
omigosh! I just decided to come in and read blogs after almost 6 months and this is what I find! My prayers are with you. I can't wait! Hugs to you both - actually, all 3 of you! krisia :o)
And don't worry about the sweater. It will be quite a while before this little peanut will fit into it. You've got time.
Good luck, Mara!
All of us in D.C. will be thinking about you. Good luck!
Game on indeed! Much love to all of you! omg I am so excited!!!!!!!

Happy 0th Birthday, Liam!
Mara, Mark, congratulations! Wow!
Oh, wow. I think I'm crying.
Mara and Mark!
I am SO happy for you! You don't know how elated I am, especially when thinking of everything you two have gone through in recent times... and everything we shared during the war while in Scotland... and knowing firsthand how awesome of a friend Liam is. It is truly fitting that little Liam be named after him!!! I called and left him phone messages to let him know the great news (since he's not the most wired guy in Glasgow, he tells me.) I CAN'T WAIT to come see you three in just a few short months!!!!!!
Love, Melanie
Mara and Mark! Congratulations. We are so thrilled by this fantastic news. Mara, although we haven't heard your war story yet, we're sure that it was a mighty battle :) Now the fun really begins! Lots of love and prayers to you all at this most uniquely sweet time. Welcome to the world Liam, you really kicked a goal in the parents department!

Mara and Mark,
I only know you through blog land, in particular, Leila, but I just wanted to add my congratulations to everyone else's. A new baby is so exciting and overwhelming and amazingly wonderful!!! I wish you and your family all the best!!
My cheeks hurt from smiling! I am so happy for you and Mark! And Liam, welcome. You've been loved for longer than you've known, and I can't wait to meet you in person!
Amelia Ishikawa, you said it perfectly. Liam certainly "kicked a goal in the parents department"!
Pictures? Can't wait to see 'em! All in favor? Aye!!!

And don't worry about the sweater. All that is left is to sew it together. And this peanut will be a looong time growing into it. He is almost 50% of the size of my kiddos.
This is all so wonderful. I can't wait to hear from you, Mara, and especially cannot wait for some photos! I'm so glad to hear that things seem to have gone well. Congratulations! I've had a lot of fun today announcing my new Aunt status and cannot wait to actually meet this wonderful little person. Then, whenever I have this opportunity, I might start to believe that he really exists, that it was him that's been hanging out in your belly this whole time, and that I really am an aunt. Take care of yourselves and I look forward so much to seeing you soon.
Love,
Kristen

I was just searching for this information for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don't rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Normally the top web sites are full of garbage.
