Today is Valentine's Day

I've got to be honest. Valentine's Day has never really been that big of a deal to me since the days of swapping those little cards in grade school. Sure, it's nice to be able to spend it with someone you love but it just seems like it's become so gimmicky and cliche'.

But this year, it's a little different. I've had it in my mind that I didn't want Sonya to go into labor until the 14th of February or later. Reason being, we're scheduled to have our orientation / birthing class this morning at Christiana Hospital and I want to be as ready as possible for the big day. I think after this a lot of my nervous feelings will subside and I will be able to focus more on helping Sonya get through these last few weeks.

I've been saying all along (since we found out the approximate due date) that we will have our son/daughter on February 21st. I'm sticking by that, because I don't know how much bigger that baby can get in Sonya's belly. According to everything we've read (I mean, Sonya's read), the baby should be hovering around 6 lbs. 8 oz. right now. Not hard to believe when you look at her belly.

Wish us luck at our class this morning. Should be a fun, eye-opening experience.
