Posted by Emily | July 21, 2005 9:43 AM

My eyes are all filled up with tears, so it's hard to type. That is beautiful!

Posted by Julie | July 21, 2005 9:44 AM

That? Is so sweet.

Now go treasure all those last kicks and movements, because it really is odd, even a bit sad, not to feel them anymore.

Posted by A.K. | July 21, 2005 9:52 AM

Happy BIRTH Day tomorrow little Bean. I wish you both tons of luck and a wonderful wonderful day filled with GOOD drugs that nake the operation easier on the Momma..:*)

You guys are shameless, trying to make the Internet CRY, are you? Well, it worked.

Awww ...

Perfect post!

And baby makes three. You guys are so cute.

Posted by bmh | July 21, 2005 12:33 PM

OMG. Way, way, too beautiful. Exhibit #543 for Freak as to why we must commence trying immediately. Jealous doesn't even begin to describe it :P But damn happy for you too. I'll be thinking of you three tommorrow.

Posted by wavybrains | July 21, 2005 12:38 PM

Excellent photo. Good luck tomorrow!

Posted by karmajenn | July 21, 2005 12:52 PM

This is so ungawdly sweet.

Posted by Anne | July 21, 2005 1:38 PM

*Sob*

Good luck tomorrow :)

Posted by Zoe | July 21, 2005 1:57 PM

I want to put you guys in my pocket and show you off to all my friends.

It is such a treat to witness your journey! Thank you for sharing these moments with us.

Posted by Jenny | July 21, 2005 2:15 PM

Best of luck tomorrow! Enjoy the craziness! Oh - and try to sleep tonight! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Posted by Laurie | July 21, 2005 2:34 PM

Oh Gawd. Seriously, I am making you guys buy me a box of kleenex or something. Or maybe, just invest in the company and put it towards Bean's education. I'm sure I could cover something Ivy League with all the tissues ya'll are making me use!

Posted by Heather | July 21, 2005 2:40 PM

I see the belly button!!! It popped! :)

Kinda like a turkey timer. Means you're done.

Posted by Holly | July 21, 2005 2:56 PM

Best of luck tomorrow. The bean sure is lucky to have parents like you both! My thoughts are with you!

Posted by bd | July 21, 2005 3:16 PM

I hope you guys are not wigged out by the fact that I don't know either of you at all, yet I'm so psyched for you!! :)

Also - I didn't comment on the last post, but a few years back, my sister's first baby was breech, and they did a c-sec just like you're describing. I'm sure you've heard a zillion stories like this--but: it went incredibly smoothly and quickly. And while I am obviously no authority to be talking about anything surrounding childbirth, I have to imagine that anything that will help you circumvent a potential 18-hour labor cannot possibly be a bad thing. :)

Best of luck!! And I second bd's comment - the Bean is def a lucky kiddo. :)

Posted by susannah | July 21, 2005 3:53 PM

I love it! Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to meet the Bean and see pictures.

Posted by Jazzy | July 21, 2005 4:13 PM

My God. That's one to keep in the baby book forever.

Posted by Queen Of Ass | July 21, 2005 4:34 PM

There you go, making us cry - again! *shakes fist*

It is awfully nice of you to share your joy with us. I wish you all the very very best in the morning. We'll be eagerly awaiting word on all of the Bean's vital stats and, of course, her name.

Posted by Ms. Q | July 21, 2005 4:54 PM

Best of luck for tomorrow!

She's so lucky... :)

Posted by angela marie | July 21, 2005 4:56 PM

Great picture.

Just wanted to say good luck with everything tomorrow and the next day... and for the next 18 years... Hope that you have an easy delivery and a speedy recovery. Can't wait for more pictures! :)

Posted by RockStar Mommy | July 21, 2005 5:23 PM

I'm so freakin' happy for you guys! Good luck tomorrow.

Posted by Melanie S. | July 21, 2005 5:23 PM

Godspeed, Beth. I know you are an atheist, but I don't care. Tonight and tomorrow, Godspeed.

Posted by Jen | July 21, 2005 6:57 PM

Posted by tiffanie | July 21, 2005 8:01 PM

Posted by Beanhead | July 21, 2005 11:05 PM

(sniff, sniff) Too sweet. Good luck tomorrow sweetie, I'm pulling for all y'all. And yes, that is the internet chanting faintly in the background "pictures, pictures!". Is it weird knowing that folks all over the world are eagerly awaiting your daughter?

Posted by Nic | July 21, 2005 11:22 PM

Oh clapping hands! SEE YOU ARE DONE! It popped! AND I love that photo! You guys are the best! Happy Birthday Bean!

Posted by Gypsy | July 22, 2005 12:47 AM

Good Luck!! I am so excited for you ;) I can't wait to see pictures of lima bean AND find out her name!!

PS. I love the picture, definitely should be an 8x10 on the baby's wall ;)

Posted by Chrissie | July 22, 2005 4:43 AM

I LOVE that picture.

Good luck today. May you have little pain, and much joy!

Posted by autumn | July 22, 2005 8:25 AM

welcome little lima bean :)

Posted by suze | July 22, 2005 8:27 AM

I better be invited to little Gertie's first baptism (or first haircut - whatever, just give me SOMETHING) since I am, after all, the genius that named her! ;)

Posted by RockStar Mommy | July 22, 2005 9:02 AM

Thinking of y'all...

Posted by ben | July 22, 2005 9:14 AM

Today's the Day! =) Congratulations!

Posted by Jenny | July 22, 2005 9:27 AM

AW! That one should go in a frame somewhere in the nursery!

Posted by Michele | July 22, 2005 11:04 AM

Good luck! Happy Birthday Beanette!

Posted by verucaamish | July 22, 2005 11:07 AM

Such a touching picture! I wonder if your baby's already come into this world? A huge welcome to her! She has some incredibly wonderful parents :)

Good luck Beth!

Posted by Luna | July 22, 2005 11:17 AM

You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Here's to a speedy recovery and a easy baby.

Beth, you and Chris are awesome parents, Bean is so very lucky to have you both.

Posted by Angelia | July 22, 2005 12:45 PM

Oh my, I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE!!!! And I had no clue you were Mrs. Cactus. Duh. Now I feel really dumb. 2+2=4. Okay, so I can still do simple math....

Happy pushing!!! I think the picture of Chris kissing your belly is the sweetest pic I've seen in a loooooooooooong time.

Posted by indigo | July 22, 2005 1:28 PM

Things of all of the cactus, fish and beans and sending you love thoughts.

Posted by Rori | July 22, 2005 2:48 PM

Happy Birthday, you little Lima Bean, you!!!

Posted by buzz | July 22, 2005 7:16 PM
