Due Date Holiday!

I'm calling today my Baby Holiday. It's Baby Caleb's due date, and he's not here yet, but I've got the day off work due to the -15 degree weather. Brian and I were lazy, lazy, lazy all weekend. We saw good friends who are off to a new adventure, he got to see the newest baby in our crowd (Caleb's the last of the 2013 Baby Boom), we had a very delicious brunch with my parents, then sat around in our comfy clothes watching a mix of football, basketball, Sons of Anarchy and Alias. We did not do anything on our to-do list: laundry, etc, but we keep telling ourselves "Soon, we will have no more lazy days. The baby will be here and sitting on the couch not doing anything for 6 hours won't exist." One of the many things I love about our marriage is our ability to let go and not worry if we're not super productive for a day. So I'm celebrating Caleb's due date with breakfast, baking and more TV marathons. Soon it'll all be different...
