You Ready?

So it's the last day of June - tomorrow marks one month til the Due Date.

Been to alot of family / summer parties - and everyones favorite question to ask is: You ready? I've got no problem with that in general. It's the way in which certain people say it that irk me. People who don't even have kids - or people who ask it in a way that presumes there is an EXACT way to actually be "ready".

My reply: I'm as ready as I'll ever be. And that is truth - the truest thing I've probably ever said. I'm ready for the challege - our home is physically ready to clean, clothe, house, feed and care for the baby and most importantly (I believe) I'm preparing myself to be unprepared. I know that's just a mindset - and in itself won't make the unexpected easier - but I hope I'll at least be able to stand back in some situations and say 'OK - didn't see that coming - take deep breath'.

Ok - so that's it - T-minus 1 month.
