How To Be Punctual
(courtesy of wikiHow.com)

Be conscious of the time (or date – whatever the case may be).

Wake up when you’re supposed to. Don’t hit the snooze button.

Commit yourself to being 15 minutes early.

Plan ahead. Pick out your clothes (or lack there of) ahead of time. If you are going to an unfamiliar place, look over a map.

Go to sleep on time.

OK baby – so, we’ll see you tomorrow… right?

I just read the interview on Live Mom. You can guess that I’ve become addicted to your web site. Every morning I can hardly wait to tune in and see what witty, fantanstic, funny thing you have written. I mean we’ve gone through it but you say it so well, we can relate. You keep me laughing. What’s the name? Come on Aimee and Marc, I promise not to tell.
Love Aunty Margaret

I have noticed that on the baby site, shown today it says “0 days until it will happen”. Out of curiosity, if not punctual will the website show “-1 days until it will happen” tomorrow?
Just wondering.

thank you for reading. we started this thinking it was a way to communicate with friends and family back in C.A. but, I realized quickly that it was an incredible tool for us, me especially, to document, track and learn from our feelings and experiences. this has been a pretty great journey so far, and we have yet to even meet the little monster. but, if marc and my relationship over the past months is any indication, our lives are about to get remarkably better very soon.

the name… hmm… if you can send us the magic potion recipe for making him come this week, we will tell you the name!

not sure if we have the ability to test that particular recipe, so, the name will have to wait. we did however, walk 4 miles yesterday. and i tried to put as much of a spring in my step as possible!
