I Might Be a LITTLE Excited

I just ran an errand to the bank, and in my excitement, I couldn't help but stop and pick up a pack of these. I smiled the whole way into the store, through the checkout, back to my car, and all of the way back to work.

I'm pretty excited folks! I can't believe it is finally go time! This has been a long time coming. I've done my time, now I'm ready to reap the rewards.

mckala7 said... [Reply to comment]: Yeah, knowing you I would never have guessed you might be this excited. LOL!!!!! Just kidding... I can't wait until a month from today when I'll be one of the first (hopefully) to find out that you are expecting. It would be great if we could be 20 weeks apart (even though last time we were 2 weeks apart). Better than not being pregnant together at all.; August 15, 2010 at 9:18 AM
