My friend, Stephenie, said it best…
The third trimester was especially designed by nature to make the pain of CHILD BIRTH actually seem like a desirable option.
I had plenty of things to blog about last week, but was in such a hormonal cluster that I hardly thought any of it was worth sharing. Let me give you the basic rundown…
Whah. I’m so pregnant. Whah. I have heartburn. Whah-whah. Whah! My MATERNITY clothes barely cover my gut. WHAH!
See. You really didn’t miss much.
I had another appointment with my doctor last Friday and, again, have absolutely nothing to report. In spite of the contractions that have been coming for weeks now, things are still HIGH and DRY over here.
Braxton-Hicks. You tease!
While there’s tremendous comfort in having a delivery date (THIS MONTH!!!) and knowing that my parents will be here to take care of Scout when it happens, there’s still that lingering “she-could-come-at-any-moment”… immediately followed by the “oh-crap-what-the-hell-am-going-to-do-when-THAT-happens”…
Did I mention that Scout was born a week early? Ack! Scout was born a week early!!!
We’re so ill prepared.
I don’t even have a bag packed (very unlike me), much less one for Scout if or when I have to frantically leave him with my friend, Melissa, in the middle of the night.
Hmm, maybe I should let Melissa know about that…
Also, until this past weekend, Mr. D had NO IDEA where my hospital is located. I’ve only been there once or twice myself and never even thought to take a peek at “Labor and Delivery”.
So after Friday’s doctor appointment, we drove to the hospital for a quick visit.
At L&D, a friendly nurse was happy to show us the birthing rooms, NICU, and well baby nursery. She pointed out the ORs where I will be delivering and dutifully reviewed the hospital’s policies on rooming-in, privacy, and security. It was all very familiar.
At the end of our impromptu visit, I only had one very pressing question…
Do the rooms have Wi-Fi or should I bring an Ethernet cable?

Bwahahahaha. . . I hate myself for wondering, quite seriously, “Well, did they have wifi or ethernet???”

Such a cute little babygro/onesie! Oh to have this kid come a week early. Guess things are a lot more relaxed second time around.

I have NOTHING packed for myself either…NOTHING! As long as I don’t give birth in the next week and a half I’ll be good. Leo’s family gets here after that 🙂
And I so know what you mean about Braxton Hicks…I’ve been having soooo many. Sometimes so many I wonder…hmmm? Guess I’ll find out at my appt tomorrow if anything is progressing 🙂
And how exciting you have your date!! Can you believe we’re almost to the end?
That was my first question too! lol. Hang it there…I know, easy for me to say I’m not pregnant! Love that cute little onesie!

Nap Warden’s last blog post..Remembering
Congrats on making it to this point. It is so much harder yet easier to get ready for a second child. Harder because you’re busier than when you had the first and easier because you know what to expect and what you should or should not pack.
And I was in Internet withdrawl when I was at the hospital until I was sent to the Maternity floor after delivery. When I was in the hospital on bed rest trying to keep off labor, I had no Internet access at all (Waaaahhhh!) I was seriously thinking of sending husband to get me a wireless modem to connect up my laptop, but then two days later, we found me really going into labor and I was relieved from my craving for blogs.
