Checking In

You will be happy to know I did actually buy some diapers, so we are not totally unprepared. Rick keeps saying he's going to pack his bag, but hasn't exactly gotten there yet. Car seat is still dusty in the rafters, but I really think there's no rush.  I think a little freaking out would probably do me good.  I'm a little too laid back on all this, but I was the first time too. While it feels imminent and we all want him to come, there's still well over two weeks until my due date.  And the poor chap hasn't a name yet, so why rush.

Pajama golf is fun, but

Underwear golf is our favorite

Bobby is into golf a little bit, but combined with his baseball background, it's best to take cover when he swings.  Perhaps field hockey or polo is a better sport for him.

Showing off his Tball class completion cert

Yes I did go to another baseball game 8 months pregnant, but nothing is happening.  We travelled to San Diego for Giants away game as well; and now they aren't coming close to us for a while, so lightning won't strike twice.  Maybe we'll watch the All Star game in the hospital though one night.

This face.  He's such a ham. 

Update, 36+ weeks

*

6 pounds, 7 ounces, head down, fluids are good. 1 cm dilated, 20% effaced.  So, basically a whole lotta nothing happening. Which is good b/c I want a big fat 8 pounder this time (remind me of this when I'm in the hospital).

Looks like he'll probably still be a July baby.  Which is good b/c poor thing has no crib, no toys that aren't dusty in the garage, no diapers, no stable changing table. just some clean clothes and dirty blankets.  But if he doesn't quit making me so tired, nothing is going to get done.

*don't ask me what that picture is of.  seriously, i can understand not seeing anything at 8 weeks, but this is past 8 months, what the hell am I looking at? A chinless baby with a foot on its chest?

The Nesting has begun

Ok, not really, but we got this out of the garage rafters today, so that's a start. It is a little rackety, but for over 60 years old and 8 babies, it's not in bad shape.  Kirin had her baby Thursday and she was only due 10 days before me, so I could go soon in theory, but I doubt it.  More like fourth of July.  We'll know more this week I hope.

8 Months Down

I owe you a birthday blog, and I have no excuse for it since Grandma was here all week and I have been persona non grata around here sitting on my bum, but no suck luck. Maybe later.  Even without a proper party because of the funeral, he had a fantastic two days and was majorly spoiled.
