American Baby says, "He's reached his birth weight (typically between 6 and 9 pounds) and length (18 to 22 inches), and all systems are go! Since only about 5 percent of women give birth on their due date, baby could be making his appearance at any moment."
I'm good with any moment. Like....this one! And....this one! Now, now, now, now, now.
This morning Cat and I took a ton of cans and plastic bottles to one of the recycling centers in one of the shadier sides of town. After about 10 disgusting minutes of feeding sticky, buggy recyclables into the machine we were rewarded with $24.80. Woohoo! I was squealing like a pampered little princess about the whole ordeal (Ew! Ew! Ewwww!) but it was worth it in the end. I practically had to bathe in Purell* when we were finished. (This is what happens when you are expecting a baby and one of you is not going to be working for several months. Recycling takes on a whole new meaning. Sure, we care about the environment. But what about some moolah?)
By the way, if our baby wants to be a Leo then he needs to come out by tomorrow.
* Might I suggest you purchase some stock in Purell? Cat has been a huge fan of this product for as long as I've known him. Now, with the impending arrival of our baby, anyone who comes near us is going to be introduced to The Purell Experience. Don't worry, it won't hurt a bit. And we have plenty. My doctor's office keeps giving me samples as a subtle hint that we should not let the germy too close to our infant.
