8 Months!

Yesterday I entered my 8th month of pregnancy! Only 9 more weeks until D-Day, I feel like I haven't really had much time to think about the reality of what is going to be happening soon since I've been so busy, but maybe that's a good thing too :)
I am starting to feel a bit unprepared though, I have nothing ready, at all! No clothes organized, no baby gear brought down from the attic, no meals prepared, not even a single newborn diaper! I'm trying to make it through August though and then hoping in September to get everything organized (maybe with the help of my dear Mother). I'm still feeling good though, my low back has been hurting me pretty bad lately so I've been icing it quite a bit, I feel like if I could get to the Chiropractor to get adjusted it would be better too, it just so happens that I'm always working when they have adjusting hours so I haven't been able to go in in about 2 months!
Lately, I've been kind of day dreaming about what this baby is going to look like and be like. For some reason I was thinking she might have brown hair, but Ricky said the other day that she might look just like Joanna, which got me thinking about me and my sister Dawn.
People used to think that Dawn and I were twins, which would drive her nuts since she is 2 years older than me. Now I think she likes it, since she is 2 years older than me :) I think we still look a little a like, Chase used to see pictures of Dawn and think it was me... also a few years ago we were on vacation at the shore and Ricky went up to Dawn and put his arm around her- thinking she was me! Haha! Well I guess there's no way of knowing what this girl is going to look like, it's fun to think about though.
As a side: I haven't had any heartburn with this pregnancy so I think maybe she'll be bald... I know that's an old wives tale but I kind of believe it anyway, watch her be born with more hair than the last two just for fun though :)

That's funny! I didn't know Ricky did that! I think something like that happened with Dad and Aunt Toot but maybe I am remembering the details wrong.
You look great! I can't believe it is coming up so soon.

I think dad did something like that too, we'll have to see what mom says though :) The funny thing was that Ricky actually walked past me to get to Dawn- the look on his face was so funny too, haha! I think it's the only time I've seen him embarresed about something :)

Hahaha! I forgot that happened! That's funny! You look absolutely beautiful Dahling! Love that pic of you and me sitting in the lazy boy together. I DO remember doing that with you! It's funny what things the mind remembers and what other things it forgets!

When you said people thought you and Dawn looked alike, I thought What?! But the one picture of you two together you do look a lot alike. I know your Mom and Toot look alike, but would you believe when they were teen agers, some people thought the sisters all looked alike. You are looking like you swallowed a watermelon!
