go to the mattresses
Mar. 12th, 2008 02:44 pm- I'm due next Monday. But there's been no progress. It's going to be a long wait, I can tell. last week met with the skinny OB in the group, who insinuated that he wouldnt even wait a week to induce. i didnt have the heart to argue. this week we met the mustachiod OB, who was a lot more calm about the whole thing. best case, the kid comes not too late; less good case, we can convince the mustached guy to hold off for a little bit.
- We were *this* close to buying a memory-foam mattress off the back of a truck, before realizing how insanely shady the whole thing was. The really amazing thing was, even though we drove three and a half hours and waited for the dude for way too long, J managed to have a good mood about it. It's one of those moments when you realize how much your attitude about something has to do with what happens. the whole thing turned into kind of a "date"!
- Saw Juno on the way home from said shady deal. It was OK. as I have os often during this pregnancy, I am SO thankful to have a devoted husband and a good life situation.
- got the hot tub set up, the one bought on craigslist for $350 (renting a birthing pool is $325-350, so we decided to buy instead). After a couple of days of J flipping out about it not working, it's up and running beautifully. I actually got in when the water was still like 82 degrees (average hot-tub is 100-104), which was cool, but it felt so nice to feel light and floaty. The last few mornings, J and I have had a sunrise hot-tub. it's been absolutely great. we have just a little part of the day to feel good and relaxed and easy.
- i hate writing thank you notes. hand cramps. i almost never read thank-you notes from other people, so it kind of feels like a waste of time.
- ive been volunteering for a politician's office this week, as though i could become any more cliche of a smithie. by working less than a week, ive got myself a recommendation. hot!
- worked the episcopal rummage sale too. the pay for a few hours work was picking up for under $20, a pack and play, a safety gate, a bunch of cloth diapers, and some vintage children's clothing for my sister-in-law's baby. score.
