yeah, that says baby is the size of a "wintermelon"... not a typo. what the freak is that you ask? i have no idea.
full term mutha-truckas!! baby boy is fully baked. he could come at any moment & that would be just fine... for him. as for me? i think i could use two more weeks. yes, i am more uncomfortable then EVER. i am no longer waddling, i am full on limping from the back pain. i feel like my legs are gonna give out when i get up from bed, the couch or a chair & i always feel like someone gave me a hard kick to the rear. he is low & there's lots of pressure down there! ouch.
but yeah, at the same time? a couple more weeks would be great. i'm in full nesting mode... i'm making progress on a few projects around the house i've been meaning to tackle & things are starting to get organized up in here. we have the special perfume/dye-free laundry detergent & heaps of baby laundry is about to get washed. i still need to pack a hospital bag & finalize parker-arrangements for our hospital stay. i'm all caught up on editing family sessions from the photog biz & i'm ready to just relax for a while, so baby boy? take your time... for now.
if i could pick a perfect day for him to come, it would be august 3, exactly one week early. it's a friday so sam would have his week off {he's only taking a week... heaven help us!} bookended by two weekends. that'd be nice, right? so everyone think magical thoughts about august 3, mmk? thanks.
in other news, progress continues on the bucket list. parker is fully transitioned to his big boy bed, i squeezed another pedicure into my life & we took a day trip to the ocean. the nursery is all set up to accomodate both boys & i've enlisted the help of a friend in making boy two a baby blanket.
some of the other stuff will have to wait til after baby. i don't think i'm up for a day trip to mt. rainier or northwest trek at 37+ weeks pregnant as much as i would be if we went with me packing an infant in an ergo post-partem & the quilt i want to finish might be a better project for my mom & i to work on when she's here. so there's that.
but really? he could come at any moment & it'd be ok. you guys, this is exciting!
