Oh my gatos, ladies and gentlemen. I am done. As my Bob always says, stick a fork in me. Right now I don’t want anything stuck in me, unless it is used to get out my presumed big headed baby. Have you met Jeff and Sydney, oh yeah and my mom? There’s about a 90% chance of big headedness in Baby Fenter. I am glad I have only gained twenty pounds otherwise I’d be really worried!
I hate that I’ve gone through this before and have taken child birth classes and have read several books. I’ve used my over abundance of knowledge to see EVERYTHING as a sign of labor. I’ve been in labor for two weeks now! I get sick to my stomach and I get excited that labor is about to start. I start cleaning the house and can’t stop and think labor is about to start. I’m not hungry, labor is about to start. I’m starving, labor is about to start. I’m tired, I’m extra energetic, I’m poopy, I’m cranky, I’m happy, awake, asleep, not able to sleep, not able to awaken…I’m neurotic and quite ready to evict my uterine renter!
I think Jeff is quite ready, too. He is a little anxious (okay he’s driving everyone crazy), but has fortunately had some acting jobs to take his mind off of things. He’s also taken on some projects at home. He’s decorated and organized the baby’s room. He painted these block shelves that his dad made and arranged them. He finished painting the puppy mural. He hung up shelves and re-painted them. I think he’s in labor because he has been nesting worse than any pregnant woman!!
Jeff and Sydney have been practicing on Baby Max (Sydney’s baby doll from a few years ago.) Sydney shows everyone how to put on a cloth diaper and the various diaper covers. Jeff shows everyone how to swaddle. I don’t think I’ll get to touch my new baby unless he’s (or she’s!!) hungry. Thank goodness that only I can do that otherwise I wouldn’t get to know the creature I’ve housed for the last nine months! Isn’t it really ten months at the end of it? It’s a darn long time! Especially the last month. I need a nap. Did I mention I’m really crampy today and think that today is the day…I’ll see you tomorrow, in other words!
