29 weeks
Many years ago—before Josh and I got married—I went to a bridal show luncheon and got a little clock as a door prize. Not just any old clock, but a clock that also counted down to your special day. It had little printed interchangeable facades that showed what the special occasion was that you were counting down to—wedding, anniversary, birthday, and so on. Some of the facades are now long gone, but we've kept the clock. Well over four months ago Josh pulled the clock out and set the countdown to March 23, 2007. When he did there was something like 200+ days to go. We didn't have the "baby due date" facade anymore so Josh handcrafted this great little cover for it and it's been sitting on the mantle of our entertainment center since then.
As of today there are only 77 days to go!

That's really cool. Time has really flown. It seems like just yesterday you made the annoucement.
Wow, that's incredible!
And I do read your blog; it' just I can never think of things to say! And I should have added you to my links again, I"m just lazy.
I refuse to add Jacob because he keeps asking me to. ;)
Just wait until that countdown has been at 0 for 7 days and you still haven't had the baby...
You look GORGEOUS! And what a neat clock. I was looking at my ticker the other day and I am now down to less than 60 days. Where did the time go??

hey I am doing great. How are you doing. I haven't been brave enough to post a pregnancy picture yet. :)
ten weeks to go! I love that you held on to this device from many years ago.
That is the coolest clock ever! I want one. However, I don't have anything big to count down to...so I am not sure what I would use it for. Perhaps I could count down to when I actually get a day off or when my car will be paid for. :)
Still love the belly!
Pixie:
Where's your brown line (vertical) down the middle of your belly? I had one that didn't go away until the baby was a year old. You're looking great!
Lynda—Time has flown. I can't believe how close we are now.
Popo—I wouldn't link to Jacob for the longest time either for the same reason. No sympathy links!
Tim—I'm measuring like 2 weeks ahead so I hope that means I'll go early and not have some freaky huge baby.
Brandy—Thanks (x2)!
Audrey—Don't be afraid to post a picture, we'd love to see the baby belly changes.
Egan—I'm so glad we still have the clock and I love that Josh made the "Time for Wee One" image for it.
VP—I'm not sure it could count down that high ;)
Leezer—I really haven't developed the linea negra. Despite the darker hair color, I'm a pretty fair-skinned girl. I was a blonde up until eighth grade when my hair turned a more brown/auburnish color.
You look great.
Good luck with the glucose test. I do hear it's a bitch. Fasting for 12 hours at 29 weeks is cruel.
