37.3 weeks.
Edie is due in 18 days. Julian was 3 days early and Luka was 5 days early so I'm anticipating she'll come in the next 2 weeks. I am getting a little impatient. I was a LOT impatient a couple days ago when she was on my sciatic nerve and my left leg was throbbing in agony for about 24 hours. But she moved and I am fine now.
Everywhere I go people give me wide-eyed looks and the bold will ask, "When are you due?!" or say, "You look like you're about to pop!" Yes, people, I am a small woman with a big baby in my belly. I know. I'm tempted to answer, "November."
My parents were in a car wreck on Tuesday. Their car hydroplaned and rolled over on the interstate. They are both doing okay, my mom is perfectly fine, but my stepdad has a broken neck (C6, for those who might care) and will be having surgery tomorrow. He's on morphine and in great spirits, and will be home Monday or Tuesday. They originally thought he was okay and went home from the accident before going to the hospital.
We have been visiting, the kids made them cards which said, "To Grandpa, From Julian, I hope you feel good soon, love Julian" and "I love! you grapa, get well soon, from Luka." (I added the commas to indicate line breaks, they were otherwise sans punctuation except for Luka's random exclamation mark, which is his favorite, and often comes after his own name). Luka drew a dog on his and Julian drew a cow.
Yesterday I spent hours on a raft in the pool with my beloved friend Katie. It was perfect. The looks I got in my bikini were hysterical. I plan to wear said bikini during labor so there will be photos.
