I had a weird nightmare the other night and, much
like I have done the few other times I have had nightmares, I woke up and made
a loud yelling sound. I do this
partially to make sure I am awake. Mr. Adventure
was in the front room entertaining guests/nerding out and he heard me and came
running. “Do we need to go to the
hospital?! Is it the baby?!” It took me a second to respond because I just
woke up, and when I told him it was a shadow bear he looked very confused. I didn’t know how else to describe what I had
seen. Later, his friend Smash told me
she had never seen anyone move so quickly.
So, I guess he is ready whenever Hamburglar and I
are. I should probably pack a hospital
bag. But what will I put in it? I think the only thing I really need is my
phone charger, and I don’t want to pack that.
And some snacks. We also need to
install the car seat. Someone asked me
the other day if I am “ready” to have the baby.
I figure I’m as ready as I’m going to be. I could definitely be more
prepared/organized, but I really don’t think the baby gives a shit about
organization. I mean, theoretically, I
don’t even need to clean the house because he won’t be able to see very far in
front of his face, right?
In other news…
Mr. Adventure has started staining the floor! It’s halfway done and using the Minwax wood
conditioner has made a huge difference.
He was trying to use a gel stain before and these darker spots were
appearing and I have been spending more time than I ever thought possible at
Woodcraft the last couple of weeks and reading a lot about hardwood floor
restoration. I learned that conditioning
the floor first is supposed to even out any spots, and it is working! We went with Candlelite
for the stain color and it looks really nice.
I can’t wait until it’s done!
And one of my coworkers bought me a Boba carrier! I was going to buy it this week, but he beat me to it! That was the last thing I really wanted before the baby comes, and now I have it!
At 39 weeks pregnant, Mr. Baby is the size of a
watermelon or a rabbit. Or maybe a
rabbit stuffed into a watermelon? If you
are not pregnant, I advise you to make a booze melon to celebrate the end of
summer. To do this, cut a hole in your
watermelon, all the way into the flesh, shove a funnel in the hole and pour in
the vodka. It takes a while for the
watermelon to soak up the booze… 2 cups takes about 2 days, so you should leave
the melon in the fridge. And I’ve heard
it is extra delicious if you use lime vodka, though I have never tried it. When it’s ready to go, just slice it up and serve. If you are pregnant, just eat some
watermelon. I’ve never had or made
rabbit and I wouldn’t know what to do with one, so no recipe for that.
In other other news, I am still working. And I am trying to finish this huge project
that was dumped on me last week before I have a baby. It’s going well so far, but I think I will
need to come in Saturday. Luckily, there
will be other people in the lab this weekend.
Also, the baby was head down a week ago, but he
still hasn’t dropped and he keeps moving around. I’m hoping it’s normal. I just keep assuming that whatever is
happening is what is supposed to happen.
I see the midwife tomorrow and I figure she will let me know if anything
weird is going on.
Oh! And I met
dog park baby! She’ super cute. But dog park girl told me about her 40+ hour
labor in which she had her membranes ruptured and then had to have pitocen to
induce on top of it and whatnot. I’m
hoping for a labor that lasts far less than 40 hours.
That is all.
