Still stuck at Melon on the produce-baby comparison chart; however, yesterday's sonogram revealed that I'm carrying a 7lb14oz baby. I'm not sure what melon weighs that much. Pumpkins are the nearest produce I can think of weighing that much.
There's some alarm there for me, and I've been posting for prayers and suggestions as even the doctor at the sonogram place suggested I hurry things along (spicy food and - in his russian accent I could just barely make out "magnificent s*x") after I let another week pass.
I'm not ready for this baby. Not in the freaked out, worried about labor way (though that will hit me) but in the "my house is not ready and we are still remodeling our kitchen" type ready. Too, I made the rookie mistake of buying little new born clothes. My son, who was closest to 10lbs, didn't fit in newborn sizes when he was newborn. Looks like Blueberry (our produce inspired nickname for the little one on the way) is going to go head to head for the heavy weight title...the gowns I've collected (thinking they'll be a breeze to change diapers at night) will still work....but oh, the other things I'm wondering about.
Today we are traveling four hours away from home, and I'm not looking forward to being that far away from the hospital. I tried to do this trip last week, but stuff kept getting in the way. Today it's do or die...we're pushing into nesting mode whether I really feel like nesting or not. I'm betting that once everything is done, I'll get the inspiration and maybe start doing some extra's. Or maybe I'll just use what little time I have left to nap, LOL.
My shower - my very first - is scheduled for Sunday afternoon. I'm nervous and a little excited at the same time. I'm so pleased that my daughter is driving me to it...I've told her if I'm up to it that we'll go shopping to fill in the little gaps that are left for the baby and grab an early dinner out using a gift coupon I received on my birthday.
Peace
