05/25/2007: "Long weekend"

I'm still here. I'm still pregnant. There is no surprise in any of this. I feel irresponsible now if I go more than a few days without updating because I don't want anyone under the mistaken impression that I'm offline because of any event. I'm just offline because there's nothing to report. Still contracting a few times a day, sometimes with "hilarious" results (watch her not be able to walk around Borders for a full 4 minutes because her abdomen was rock hard and her sciatica prevented her from lifting her right leg! It's a laugh riot!). NST's are still showing a lovely reactive heartbeat and nothing to be concerned about. Blood sugars are all within normal range. I am a picture of health. Except for the crippling backaches and the gestational diabetes, of course. So easy to forget!

I'll see Dr. LaidBack again on Tuesday, at which time I suspect he will give me his usual cursory check and then tell me to call the labor and delivery department on June 4 unless I go into labor before then, goodbye. For someone I see because I am "high-risk" he has precious little to say to me. How's your blood sugar? All in range. Any pain? No. Anything unusual happen this week? No. Any questions? Not really. OK, see ya around.

I miss my midwife.

We finished the wardrobe this afternoon - hooray! Ikea finally got the missing shelves in stock - apparently the tree they were waiting for finally grew enough so that they could make the pressboard. I don't know what took 6 weeks but whatever. The shelves are now installed and the wardrobe is done. There are even handles; Dave took care of that some time ago. The only thing left to do for the nursery is to finish the bookcase and hang things on the walls. There are only a few things to hang, so that should take about 10 minutes flat. So close!

I've had a bit more energy this week so I've done more organizing and cleaning. Still not as much as I'd like to have finished but I get a little done each day. I got the carseat inspected yesterday so that's all safe and sound. I've made my third trip to Goodwill and am planning one more. There is still both a real list of things to do and my mental list but really, the baby could show up any time now and I'd be relatively OK with the state of things. This is saying a lot, although whether it's a commentary about how pleased I am with the state of the house or about how sick I am of being pregnant remains a bit of a mystery.

Anyhoo - no updates until after I see Dr. LaidBack on Tuesday, unless anything happens and I'm near the computer. So then... no updates until Tuesday afternoon. Have a good Memorial Day weekend!
