I'm STILL here and STILL pregnant!
Can you tell I'm getting tired of this???? Saw the OB yesterday and I'm not diliated so no "sweeping" was done. She said Lily's head is very low (she got one finger in to touch the top of her head) and I'm 30% thinned out. So, we're trying natural methods to help things move along. So far, no success. I "feel" like it could be any time but who knows. I hope it's before next Wed...which is my next appt. I'll have E home that day but DH said he's come to the appt. with me since they'll likely "sweep" me. DH's guess was I'd have L yesterday, MIL said Dec 4. I hope she's wrong...I don't want to wait THAT long. Mom & dad can't come up till after today (dad has an appt. at home). Maybe L's trying to be courteous and wait for tomorrow. :) That would be funny. With E, I went into labour at midnight on a Friday and had her at 11 p.m. on the Saturday...maybe L's trying to be a copy cat. Who knows?
Well, scrapping was fun with Shay...although we spent more time catching up. :) Which was great! Got to visit with Amber too and gave her some Mat clothes. More to come, soon I hope. :) Hmmm...dropped by work yesterday and met the new guy. I can tell I like him already. He's young/my age-ish, got a good sense of humour, a good fit I think. If/when the split comes around, he may luck out with a FT job. Put it this way, he left his previous FT job to work my Mat leave position...very telling about where he works.
Hmm...what else. Oh, stopped into Shoppers yesterday and picked up a new bottle. Playtex Advance is what I used with E. The one-way valve was a saving grace. Now they have a "natural shape" more like a breast. I had 1 bottle (gift from H&H) so I picked up another and some slow flow nipples. I'm not leaving anything to chance this time. I REALLY hope breastfeeding will work this time but wanted to be prepared if I had to pump/use formula. Last night I sterilized the bottles, 2 soothers, and a nipple shield...just in case. Oh, and yesterday I bought a box of yummy praline chocolates for myself, gorged and watch Chocolat. It was super nice to relax. :)
I finished the girl's stockings 100%. Just have to stuff their ornaments and sew up the end, which I'll do today. Other than that, I have nothing else to do. I was tempted to go to the garage and haul in the Christmas decorations but decided against it. No worries...I was going to use the dolly. :) I want to wait till Sat and get E to help. And maybe make Christmas rice crispy squares (couldn't resist buying the red/green crispies). I CANNOT wait for Christmas this year!!!! Esp. with the 2 girls, and M&D visiting. It's going to be a great one...I can feel it!
Well I've babbled on enough. Hope y'all are doing great. I'll keep you posted on what's going on. If I go into labour, I'll call Shay and she can spread the news...alright Shay? Take care!
