I'm bored, so I thought I'd make a random thoughts journal entry...
The main thing that has been absorbing my thoughts is the baby, of course. There is a lot to wonder.
I wonder who she's going to look like, or if she'll resemble an alien when she first arrives. Probably the latter -- I've seen enough episodes of "Birth Day" to know what a freshly delivered baby looks like. It's not pretty.
I wonder if I'll cry or if I'll be so tired that I will be void of all emotion -- or is the tiredness will be an igniter for an overabundance of emotion. We'll see.
I wonder how long the labor will last, if there will be in complications, if I will have to have an emergency c-section, and if the GBS will cause her to have a fever which will result in a 7 day stay in the hospital.
I wonder if I will be overdue... let's hope not, if Mom and Dad will be able to stay long enough to help me get settled, and if D's parents will decide that their sons first child is more important than money and come up and be with us and support him when she's born.
I wonder if D is going to pass out from the sight of labor (he did pretty well watching the video), and if he will be totally stressed from being a coach for me, if he will be stressed from outside influences (work).
I wonder what the weather will be like when we bring her home. It's been so beautiful here all week. I know cold weather is around the corner, it's just late, and I wonder if it will hold out until after she's home, inside the warm house, and away from the elements.
I wonder if she will come out and the doctor will say, "It's a boy!" OH GOSH wouldn't that be awful?!?!!? (I dreamed this happened last night!)
I wonder how the cat and dog will adjust to a new little person in the house, if Pixel will think, "GOD, You're doing this to me AGAIN -- and it's ANOTHER girl!!!", if Tessa will just be crazy and unmanageable, if Pixel will be curious or jealous, if Tessa will be curious or jealous (probably the latter), and if both of them will love her like another cat or dog -- or like they love us.
I wonder just exactly how tired I'm going to be after the first month.
I wonder how D is going to handle the lack of sleep with work and so on. He'll be getting a little break in December. What am I going to do without him?!?!
Anyway -- those are my random thoughts on the baby.
I want to see Harry Potter in a couple weeks. I also want to go and see RENT on the 23rd... but we'll see.
