From turkey pine cones...to our upcoming arrival
I am a horrible LJ friend...It has been 26 weeks since my last post! I am so embarrassed and I am very sorry (especially to you, Rach, since I joined in large measure to keep in touch with you on a daily basis!). I have been meaning to post an entry for some time, but it is funny, I get overwhelmed at where to start so I just don't do it. So I decided just to start with today:
Gavin is off to school, thanks to my husband, Jamie. Gavin loves preschool and is doing well with the separation from his momma. I, on the other hand, have my days. I just miss him. He is my little shadow and sidekick, so I often find myself wondering what he is doing at school during the time that he is gone. We made turkey pine cones yesterday for the thanksgiving "favors/ name cards." My mom is actually hosting it this year, although my in-laws are cooking (my mom is not the best cook!). What a wild batch of turkeys they turned out to be - all glittery, gluey, and feathers everywhere! I let Gavin take charge of the project and I can still see glue and glitter on the counters and on his little table. They are still headless - which makes them look even crazier, but I haven't figured out what to do about the heads. Every on-line craft site suggests an acorn, but acorns are not easy to come by in San Diego!
I have my OB appointment for the week today. I actually had it on Tuesday, but I totally forgot about it. I am blaming it on the Veteran's holiday and Gavin was home from school. Instead of being at the dr., we went to Java Mama, this playhouse/ coffeehouse in La Mesa. Of course, Gavin got hurt (pinched his finger in the tubular jungle gym), so I would have been better off at the dr.'s, but I just didn't remember about the appointment. So they are squeezing me in today with a nurse.
A little recap from 26 weeks (yikes! again, I am sorry) ago: We are going to have a little girl any time now. If I don't have her on my own in the next week, they will induce me (not thrilled about the idea of being induced, but I have this horrible varicose vein in my private area and groin - a whole different post for another day: let's just say we call it "The Worm!" It is so painful and I have so much pelvic pressure that I feel as though this baby is going to fall out when I walk (although my OB assured me that this won't happen). She isn't going to make me suffer past the 40 week mark, so thus, the induction day. I am not a nervous pregnant woman (I still drink caffeine, sneak bites of Gavin's "hot dog on a stick,"etc.), but I am so nervous these days...I am sure this is normal, but it isn't me and it's making me and everyone around me a bit crazy. I just can't wait to meet her....
I hope you all have an amazing day!
