Imminent...or maybe not...
Stillllll waiting. :)
Parents are here; hooray! They brought many baby goodies, and leek starts, and a partially completed birthing stool (which Dad will hopefully finish today). We're all sort of on a slow, comfortable pace which I am appreciating. Finally got to Dunn Lumber, which turns out to be a very nice hardware store, and I picked up the siding we need to fix the hole in the side of the house where the old range hood 'vented' (except for the part where they used a sprayer for painting the house before we got it and sprayed over the mesh that covers the vent, rendering the thing useless). It's supposed to rain a bit today but I'm hoping to get that primed and painted--want everything ready to go before we put a 'real' hole through the wall. Need to find some Teflon tape so we can do some plumbing work today, too--gotta hook up the diaper sprayer and maybe even the kitchen faucet David bought me for Christmas (eeee!).
May have met contractions...maybe not. People keep saying 'you'll know it when you feel it' but I'm still a little worried that I'll go into labor and not realize it until it's far enough along that prepping for the birth will have to be rushed. Do not want stress. WOULD like to be able to sleep better (HAH!) and am starting to think that getting up every two hours to feed/change her may be easier than this is--there's only a couple of 'comfortable' sleeping positions and those eventually make my hips hurt, so I've been getting up early because I just can't sleep through the pain anymore.
Blueberry banana bread for breakfast. Yum! Froze carrot soup pucks and leek/kale strata yesterday. Freezer is approaching 'burgeoning' but I'm pretty sure we'll go through most of it pretty quickly after bebe arrives and parents go home.
Must take trash to curb before the guy gets here.
