Now We Wait.

I’m now a day over my due date. At some point, I would like to find statistics on how many babies go past their expected due date. I’m 12 for 13, right now. (Timothy was 5 weeks early.) This week, I’ve prepared the car seat. Our bags are packed and ready. I have the mailbox bow made and by the…

This Week’s Couponing
