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. :)

What happens if you go a day or two past 20?... you'll paint your ears, nose, knees, knuckles, or what?? :)
Cute idea! You're so close. I'm excited to see pictures of the precious little newborn. Having two kids is SO much fun...a little trying somedays, but fun nonetheless. I love you, Ang! Good luck with everything.
If I go over my allotted number of toe/fingernails, I'll probably feel about like ripping one out each day thereafter! :) Ha, ha!
Good luck on your final stretch!! I love your countdown!!
