It's our last day of pregnancy and we can barely contain our excitement. We're trying our best to take advantage of the time we have; I slept in for what is likely to be the last time in a while, we made and froze a bunch of waffles, and now we're doing laundry so we have clean clothes and bedding to last us through the first few weeks of parenthood. The car has been cleaned out, the car seat has been installed, and the baby monitor is full of batteries and ready to go. One of the final things we do still have on our list is to trim up my beard and get a haircut. I mean, really -- I can't meet my daughter for the first time looking like this, can I?

As I mentioned a while ago, we found out about the pregnancy while we were on vacation in North Carolina with my family. As it was pretty early on, we didn't really want to discuss it openly so most of our conversations about it happened out on the beach or in bed at night. There was one afternoon, after January finished with a run out on the beach, when we were sitting with my family passing notes back and forth on our iPhones. I love this conversation and just wanted to share it here to put a nice cap on the Captain's Log.
