Mash-Up

Just some random thoughts as of late:

- I'm starting to feel like I may be the first woman to be pregnant forever. On the flip side, I'm sure I'm not the first woman to feel this way :-)

- I was singing a nice little ditty about the smell coming from a certain area (it was sung to the tune of the Oscar Meyer weiner song) when Mike interupted and told me to just go shower if the odours were that bothersome. He just can't appreciate true art when he hears it :-)

- Shandi has no idea how much her own life is about to change...she will no longer be the "baby" of the house. And I have a feeling she's going to gain some weight over the winter since her walks will be put on the backburner for awhile.

- I'm starting to feel guilty when people phone and ask if Baby is here yet because they have $X in a baby-pool and the day they picked has come and gone. I feel like I owe these people money.

- My evenings as of late have consisted of drinking tea, eating cookies and reading thriller/mystery novels. I try to enjoy each evening and can't help but wonder whether it will be my last chance to sit and read for awhile.

- We are finally getting cable hooked up in our upstairs living room on Monday. I didn't want a TV in that living room, but if I am going to be up at all hours of the night with Baby, I'm going to need something to do.

- We have finally finished putting together all the Baby accessories...stroller, car seat, bouncy chair etc. There was more swearing involved in that than there probably should have been. Some of those instruction booklets are horribly vague.

- The only swelling that has occurred in my body lately has been my tongue. Mike notices in the morning that I sound like I'm slurring a little bit, but I feel like I'm slurring all day long. It's a very unsettling feeling.

- For the sake of guessing, I'm going to say Baby shows up on Sunday, only for the reason that having a birthday on 1/10/10 would be kind of neat.
