4 purple toenails

Right now, I have 4 purple toenails. I'm painting one finger or toe nail everyday to count down until my due date. I learned as a kid from my awesome Mom that there is fun to be had, even when going through something that is hard. When I was 11, my Dad spent nearly all of December and the entire month of January in Germany on business, and my Mom had us make a paper snowflake for each day he would be gone, then we took one down from hanging on the wall each day. I've counted down with a paper chain until the end of college semesters, and stickers on a chart until my bro came home from his mission, I've counted down with rocks in a jar or paper flowers on the wall. But today, I have 4 purple toenails. I hope none of them fall off. :)
