May 18th

On Sunday, September 10th I found out I was pregnant. As soon as I made the announcement to Mike we went straight to the computer and calculated my due date. It was May 18th. When I went to the doctor to confirm my pregnancy they agreed that yes, May 18th was in fact my due date.

So since September 10th, May 18th has been a very important date at the front of my mind. I new that the chances of having my baby precisely on May 18th were slim, but it was still the date that I looked forward to for eight months.

Mike even got me a nifty digital Baby Countdown Clock for Christmas. It told me exactly how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds I had until my due date. Well, last night at midnight I watched as it hit zero. I've been wondering what would happen after that mark, surprisingly it started counting up. So according to the Countdown Clock I have had my baby for 12 hours and 33 seconds. Kind of cool.

It's kind of a weird feeling. The date is here, but the package already came--so the date isn't that exciting any more. However, it is the one date that I have SO looked forward to since September 10th.

Now I have every day to look forward to. It's so fun to see what Zoe can do and it's amazing to see how Mike and Zoe interact with each other.
