4 days

And posting late, so probably freaking some folks out, no? Heh.

I had insomnia last night, and stayed up til 2 to try to tire myself out.  I ordered myself a used Mei Tai Baby, Adjustable, in a red dragon brocade, because OH GOD, what if I don’t have enough hippie-ass baby carriers?! 

Today, I farted around the house all morning, finally dragging into school by 2, where I basically finished up my networking class, completely, and then burned all my stuff from my lab station onto a disk, and made sure I had all my stuff out of the office. I had my last seminar class tonight, which was a dinner at my prof’s house, and people were surprised to see me still hobbling around.

One of my classmates used to be an RN, and worked in L&D for years, and has always been commenting on my pregnancy. All in a good way, very positive "Wow, you’re look great! You’re really moving for XX weeks!" and last week, she mentioned I hadn’t dropped. TODAY, though, she says I HAVE dropped, and she looked at me and said "You’re close, I can see it in your eyes…" So, that’s something. And, I think I’ve started to lose my mucus plug, so wheeee.

Dave has a shoot tomorrow, that starts at 4:45 AM. As in, the MORNING.  He was hoping I’d go into labor early enough for him to cancel that (but seriously, like me LABORING is going to be easier or more restful than a sunrise shoot…) but it looks like it’s still on at this point. (OBVIOUSLY.)

So, yeah. I’m feeling kinda icky, wondering if I’ll see my OB’s office on Friday or be a mom by then… weirrrdd. Either way, May 9 is a cool day, because tomorrow will be my 5 year anniversary of quitting smoking, which I like to celebrate and acknowledge every year. Five years! Not One Puff! Whoohoo.

  1. I can see where Dave is coming from. On the one hand he could go to work at an ungodly hour or he could be with his wife while she labours and meet a little human widget. No contest!

  2. Hi, I lurk on ADL. For some reason, I log on every day convinced you’ll have had this baby! I feel a little obsessive. Anyway, best wishes!

  3. Ha! just remember to put your baby down sometimes so it can learn to sleep without the loving lull of mom’s activity. seriously!
    And hooray for mucus plugs!
