The countdown is on...

Thanks to a cute idea from a coworker, when I had 39 days left Rilyn and I made a paperchain so she could cut one off each day so she could see how much longer it would be until her little sister (or brother) would arrive. I hung the chain on her door frame and it was so long I wrapped it up onto a little shelf by her door. Yesterday (pending I can count correctly) we're officially under the 20 day mark and the paperchain is now almost as high as Rilyn is tall (off the floor that is). Everyday Rilyn reminds me it's time to cut one off and after she does, she says in a higher pitched voice, "look mommy, it's not touching the floor anymore!" and then she giggles. :) I just can't believe we're down to under 3 weeks (it was 3 weeks from yesterday)!
