Posted by: Emily at July 21, 2005 09:43 AMMy eyes are all filled up with tears, so it's hard to type. That is beautiful!
Posted by: Julie at July 21, 2005 09:44 AMThat? 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. at July 21, 2005 09:52 AMHappy 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..:*)

Posted by: bmh at July 21, 2005 12:33 PMOMG. 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 at July 21, 2005 12:38 PMExcellent photo. Good luck tomorrow!
Posted by: karmajenn at July 21, 2005 12:52 PMThis is so ungawdly sweet.
Posted by: Anne at July 21, 2005 01:38 PM*Sob*
Good luck tomorrow :)
Posted by: Zoe at July 21, 2005 01:57 PMI 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 at July 21, 2005 02:15 PMBest of luck tomorrow! Enjoy the craziness! Oh - and try to sleep tonight! Can't wait to hear all about it!
Posted by: Laurie at July 21, 2005 02:34 PMOh 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 at July 21, 2005 02:40 PMI see the belly button!!! It popped! :)
Kinda like a turkey timer. Means you're done.
Posted by: Holly at July 21, 2005 02:56 PMBest of luck tomorrow. The bean sure is lucky to have parents like you both! My thoughts are with you!
Posted by: bd at July 21, 2005 03:16 PMI 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 at July 21, 2005 03:53 PMI love it! Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to meet the Bean and see pictures.
Posted by: Jazzy at July 21, 2005 04:13 PMMy God. That's one to keep in the baby book forever.
Posted by: Queen Of Ass at July 21, 2005 04:34 PMThere 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 at July 21, 2005 04:54 PMGreat 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 at July 21, 2005 05:23 PMI'm so freakin' happy for you guys! Good luck tomorrow.
Posted by: Melanie S. at July 21, 2005 05:23 PMSuch a sweet picture.... priceless. Good luck tomorrow!!!
Posted by: cathy at July 21, 2005 05:47 PMWow! Great pic! I hope that you and Chris get lots and lots of sleep tonight (well, as mich as you can when you're anxiously awaiting the biggest day of your life!). I am sooooooooooooooo excited for you!

Posted by: Beanhead at 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: suze at July 22, 2005 08:27 AMI 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 at July 22, 2005 09:02 AMThinking of y'all...

Posted by: verucaamish at July 22, 2005 11:07 AMSuch 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 at July 22, 2005 11:17 AMYou 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 at July 22, 2005 12:45 PMOh 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 at July 22, 2005 01:28 PMThings of all of the cactus, fish and beans and sending you love thoughts.
