"August 23rd. One week and counting&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;amp;#8217;s getting very real. The North Jersey aunts took me to dinner last night. We are getting, um, older (not old!). We discussed some very important things over shrimp toast, vegetable fried rice, sesame chicken and sweet-and-sour chicken. Things like: toilet bowl cleanser and how to properly cook stuffed peppers. Aunt Kate was on &amp;amp;#8220;bump patrol,&amp;amp;#8221; dying to see JD wiggle (and he did!). &amp;amp;#8220;That&amp;amp;#8217;s his butt,&amp;amp;#8221; I explained as she moved her palm over my side. &amp;amp;#8220;His little butt!&amp;amp;#8221; she gushed. Before we left, we cracked open some fortune cookies. Guess what mine said? &amp;amp;#8220;Pat yourself on the back for making the right choice.&amp;amp;#8221; Of course, my eyes welled up with tears and the NJ aunts all awww&amp;amp;#8217;d in unison. I already tucked the tiny slip of paper into JD&amp;amp;#8217;s scrapbook. Talk about signs. Afterwards, the girls came over to my *new* apartment for an impromptu housewarming (I can&amp;amp;#8217;t believe I&amp;amp;#8217;ve been out of my parents&amp;amp;#8217; house for a month now. And how together the place is). I showed them our digs and they responded enthusiastically: &amp;amp;#8220;So cute!&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Huge kitchen!&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Aww, a cabinet full of bottles!&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Diapers and ducks!&amp;amp;#8221; That&amp;amp;#8217;s right, JD, everything is ready and waiting and we&amp;amp;#8217;re all so excited to meet you. I have nothing planned for this weekend, if you feel like coming early. I imagine you&amp;amp;#8217;d make a great date for Friday or Saturday night. August 23rd: Today is a good day. It&amp;amp;#8217;s a day where I can say: This time next week, I&amp;amp;#8217;ll be on my way to the hospital. This time next week, I&amp;amp;#8217;ll be cuddling my baby boy. This time next week, I&amp;amp;#8217;ll be a mommy. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
