OKay, for real, I think the baby is dropping now. Today I’ve had a change in my peeing, in that I’m DEFINITELY peeing more, but with less volume. I’m pretty sure there’s a visual shift downwards, too. Or, I’m just high from anticipation and peeing is a side effect.
Pretty calm day here, I actually slept pretty well — the first night we’ve had the bedroom window open overnight! I thought we might get cold at some point, but we never did. THAT’s how warm it’s been. Of course, laying there listening to the street wake up, I had the distinct thought of "Oh shit, the neighborhood is going to HATE that we have a summer baby." Oh well. 🙂
I went for a short walk, just up a few blocks and around the school and back, but my feet started feeling fat. I haven’t had much problems with swelling, and I think it was just exacerbated by the heat, so I came home and put my feet up on the ottoman and drank some water and just relaxed for a bit. Dave worked on the lawn all day, and then we went to TRU to use a giftcard to get a swing. I really wanted the Nature’s Papasan one, it just looked so much less BABY than the Ocean Wonders one, but I just couldn’t justify the extra 40 bucks we’d have to spend. We got home and Dave assembled the swing, and we’re ready to. . . rock. I guess.
So, yeah, I’m just waiting waiting waiting. While I wait, have y’all seen The Oozinator? It’s A REAL TOY, from Hasbro. HOW it got out of the "new toy developers sitting around stoned in Daytona Beach just. . . talking, dude" stage to an ACTUAL PRODUCT, I have no idea. Anyway, it is WORTH a look.
Here’s another link: Enter a contest to win a free Hotsling! (And yeah, I get an extra entry for posting a link….) But still, easy contest, what the hell.
eeee this is so exciting!
I cannot believe it is 6 days, my due date twin! I’ve noticed an definite peeing frequency increase as well, but still can’t detect any visual drop at all. Also having hand swelling when I go on walks, which is definitely a new thing for me.
I hadn’t thought of the summer baby open window thing. Ha. Oh well!
