Baby Update

Since people seem curious, here's an update:


I am still pregnant. I am uncomfortable, but would like to clarify that I'm not miserable by any means. My hope is that she either comes tomorrow so she can get a free slurpee on her birthday every year or that she comes on Friday so I can go to the midnight showing of Harry Potter the night before. If she waits until then, she might just be the perfect child. Priorities, people.


I have been doing my part to usher her out though. This weekend, we went on a long walk at the mall, swam, ate tons of fresh pineapple, went over every speed bump Jeff saw, and now we're cleaning the house. To be clear, I'm not getting that nesting feeling. I really don't want to clean the house at all, but maybe we're tricking my body into thinking it's nesting and thus Eiley will want to come out. Or not. Either way, the house was seriously a disaster and we're fixing that.


Also either way, this kid will be here by the 18th because the doctor scheduled us for induction that day if she doesn't come earlier.


In conclusion, two people have asked if Eiley is twins this weekend. This time I responded with "No, I'm just due today," which was slightly more satisfying than courtesy chuckling.

  1. Thanks for the update. I've been thinking about you a lot. I'm glad you are doing well and you seem very well-adjusted. Good luck with these next few days. Can't wait to hear the good news!!

  2. Awesome update. I look forward to more. Labor inducing suggestion: do your walking around the grocery store. The AC is more pleasant than your currently muggy outdoors, you can replenish your pineapple supply, and you can do laps around the watermelons to see how many more crazy comments or looks you can collect ;).

  3. I'm just commenting to tell you that I miss you and Jeff (and I'm sure I'll miss your little munchkin when she shows her pretty face, but that is beside the point). Also, can I just say how many millions of times nicer than me you are? If I was preggo, I think I'd just start punching anyone who looked at me sideways or made a comment about my belly size.
