I came here to comment on how maybe YOU should be updating your blog and now my foot is in my mouth. :) I know, I know... I'm so behind. If only I had some time. :) Well the good news is there isn't much you can do about the baby coming but we've all felt exactly how you are right now. I even felt more like that with my second. The bad news is you'll be freaking out even more when she comes so enjoy the safety of her being tucked away right now. The better news is that you'll be so in love you'll not know how you ever lived before she exisited. I'm getting so excited for you guys! BTW, I can't turn off Mama Mia in my car. Brett's ready to kill me. ha. ha. This was such a long comment.
I hit that point later than you I think, at our birthing class thing I turned to Jake with a look of horror on my face and said "She has to come out." I had seen several births but suddenly the reality that I had to give birth and take the baby home freaked me out. Good news is you're totally normal and we all (mothers and their babies) survived somehow. I always felt like I needed an entourage with me for supervision. Call us and Kenna and I will come hang out with you anytime and keep you and little girl Walker company.
It's true. Just the other day I "realized" that we are definitely INTO October, and that's only 2 months away from December! Wow, this has gone by fast. (Though, that really is due to the fact that I STILL feel like we've only known you're pregnant for the last 4 weeks...) You'll be awesome, and you learn that you just know what to do. Everything somehow works itself out. I can't wait to meet her!
I love you Michelle!!! Michelle, My Belle! :) You are going to be a fabulous mom!

I always enjoy reading your blog! You totally crack me up. It still hits me occasionally that I am, indeed, a MOM. In my mind, I am still 17 years old. (at least I act that age) I feel a lot of responsibility as a parent...but, yet am enjoying the ride. A couple of weeks ago, we went to a rock show put on by a local radio show...and reality sunk in. I am indeed older...and nontheless, WISER! You should have seen some of these "parents." Crazy to think that anyone can have children. I think that I enjoyed watching them as much as rocking out to the bands! As far as parenting goes, I always believe in being totally open with my kids. We have some wonderful discussions. Hopefully, I can help save them some heartache. I know for sure that you are going to be the best mom. You are so wise, funny, and witty... and any kid is going to be so lucky to have you and Brad as their parents! You are simply the best and I love you! Larabelle
geez michelle...you'll be a mom so soon! I'm still getting used to being married. I wish I had some baby advice for you... But it seems as though I'm way behind you :)
I know you're going to be a fantastic mother because I've watched you be a fantastic big sister and aunt. You'll be fun, direct, and so full of love that it will spill over into all you do. Michelle, it will come naturally and if for some weird reason it doesn't, we're all here to help.

And BTW, I love your blog... so entertaining. Now that I've found it, I think that I can stop coming to lunch and just get your updates online.
