just one week

7 days. 168 hours. 10,080 minutes.

dear van,

that's how much time until you are in our arms. we CANNOT wait! of course, you could be here sooner if you so choose, but we know you won't be here too much later. we are all counting down the days, hours, and minutes until you are here, van. did i mention we can't wait? your sissy is especially excited!

i'm off to fluff your nest some more!

love,
mommy

p.s. i forgot to recap the story behind the name/description of your blog. in the first trimester, and really most of the second trimester, too, you wouldn't allow me to eat egg salad. it made me really sick anytime i ate it :-) i like to tease you about this b/c egg salad had been my FAVORITE sandwich ever before you started growing in my tummy. well, thankfully, you lifted the ban on egg salad in the third trimester, and i've been enjoying my favorite sandwich pretty often in these last three months. thank you, buddy!
