…like my baby is curdling in there, or something bad like that.  You know, there should actually be 41 week pregnancies.  I think a lot more babies would be born closer to the EDD (estimated dates of delivery).  No matter.  Baby will come when baby is ready to come. 

Funny comment of the day: “So, you’re still with us!”  Hmm, yes.  Yes I am.  I don’t plan on dying anytime soon!  Hee hee.  Oh, and apparently there was a rumor that baby came yesterday.  I don’t know how I would have missed that fact.  People are so anxious for us… I think I’ll take a break from anxiety and let everyone else cover for me.  Sound good?

Natural induction attempt #1: Balsamic vinaigrette.  Apparently it worked for my cuz.  It didn’t sound too far out in left field, so Joey and I thought it was worth a try.  I made the mistake of letting my extremely excited, extremely impatient husband dress my salad with it.  There was a lake of dressing on my plate at the end of the meal, and it kind of burned my throat to eat all of my salad.  If this doesn’t work, then… well, it doesn’t work.  Tomorrow’s attempt: fresh pineapple.  Wish me luck, people!

I don’t know if I’m officially into the “nesting” stage of pregnancy yet. I actually think I’ve been nesting for a whole year, being a newlywed and all. And, considering that we’ve already lived in 4 different places, I think I’ve had plenty of reason to obsessively nest. At any rate, keeping things clean and in order is high on my priority list these days. Our house is small, so continuous organization is kind of a must. At this point I can proudly say that all of baby’s things are in order, and we would be able to function quite comfortably should baby come, say, tomorrow. Gulp…

Joey and I got a tour of the maternity ward in the Brandon Regional Health Centre yesterday. It’s fairly new and very well set up. I won’t go as far as saying I’m excited to give birth there, but I’m pleased we have access to such a facility. The midwife that was supposed to give us the tour was actually at a birth, so another midwife on our team was our guide. I’ve met all three of our midwives and I think I’m going to be very comfortable with whichever one is on call when the big event takes place. (Here we pause for a moment of slight panic. Fear not, readers, these moments pass quickly…)

That pretty much sums up my news for now. I leave you with random pictures of our not-so-random life.

I think knitting like crazy falls under the category of "nesting". I just finished this afghan yesterday!

We got our new phil&teds stroller in the mail the other day. See? Pretty!

Joey and I have discovered that we share a love for Scrabble. Strange, isn't it?
