Here's baby's new favourite clip. N and I re-watched Almost Famous a while back -- so good.
Week 34 is almost at an end. Here's how round I've gotten.
Yesterday in particular, my extra roundness prompted some interesting questions amoung some feisty first graders. Evasive tactics were applied. It just didn't feel appropriate to be fielding questions like, " how long has that baby been in there?" and "how are you going to get that baby out of there?" Not to mention my personal fave, "why do you want to have a baby?"
Everything has been moving along in a blur. Last weekend, we started to assemble the nursery. Crib and changing table area were created. There is a lot of work still to do but it is coming along nicely. Have a look:
We've also already finished 2 of 4, "first-time" baby classes we are taking at the hospital. Last week, we watched 2 video-taped births and it was all I could do to not vomit after seeing the first one. By the end of it I was in tears and they were not tears of happiness -- they were tears of fear. I didn't even manage to make it through the second video, I found a nice piece of floor to focus on and practiced "breathing". I go through bouts of crazy paranoia about delivering my little tiny dancer... but I am sure I'll survive. Women have been having babies since the beginning of humankind... though after that first video I do question why... but I digress and will now tell the baby in my belly that I love him so to not scar my child before he arrives. You will be worth it! You will be worth it! You will be worth it! Tomorrow is class #3 -- the hospital tour. Cannot foresee this being overly traumatic.
We've got lots to do around the house this weekend. N is installing our new computer/home server. We are going wireless, baby! Finally I'll be able to access all of our TV, movies, pictures, etc without plugging into the external hard drives. It won't be as fun as camping last year but we'll survive -- besides camping with the little rug-rat next year is something I'm actually looking forward to!
Have a good May long weekend everyone!
