Baby Update, Internship Update, and the Excitement of the Holidays

I know it has been a while since I posted, so I will just give a quick update. I am due in 9 days and I am led to believe our little girl wants every single one of those days in the womb. The doctor thinks so too. So, we will just have to wait. My biggest fear is being in the hospital on Christmas. Right now that is the only thing I can think about. I really don't want that to happen. Michael is planning on being done with finals by next Wednesday, so I am hoping she wants to come between the 17th and 20th. However, I know that I really don't have any say in this. She will come when she is ready. I have finally come to peace with that fact.

Michael and I have accepted an internship with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Washington D.C. next summer. We are very excited for this opportunity. We will be out there from about mid-June to mid-August. If all goes well with the internship we hope a job offer will come at the end of it. Luckily, Michael's parents have offered to let us stay with them. We are glad to have family there to help us out. We hope to do some sight seeing while we have the chance next summer. It should be a lot of fun (and hard work). After this semester Michael only has 1 1/2 years of school left. We are looking forward to what our future holds.

We are done with our Christmas shopping and preparations. I really didn't want to have to think too much about it after Thanksgiving. I put up my holiday decorations a week before Thanksgiving. We have been trying to shop whenever we can. Now I can focus on resting a bit before the baby comes. This is going to be a great Christmas for us. We can't wait to spend some time with all of my family.
