Come out, come out, wherever you are

Last night I had a dream that Freka had been born, and she was absolutely beautiful. I dreamt that I had brought her home from the hospital ("home," in this scenario, being my parents' apartment in Chicago), and I was the only one up, and she was so alert and happy, and I propped her up in her car seat on the couch, only the angle was wrong and she fell out. Alone ten minutes and I'd already broken my daughter.

Vacation has been low-key. Showering, dishwashing, blogging, reading, dozing, watching Judge Judy after my stories have ended, counting the minutes until Luke gets in from work. The closer we get to my due date, the more I'm apt to think the pack of newborn diapers we bought will be obsolete. Good thing we have THREE packs of size ones.

My mother still thinks the baby's a boy.

One of my favorite doctors is on call this weekend, so it would be really nice if Freka chose to get things moving today. Hear that, sweet girl? REALLY NICE.

I wrote "Olly olly oxen free" at the close of my last post before the babe arrived. It worked. Here's hoping yours does, too!

Are we there yet? Almost,just a little while longer.

I just laughed when I read that you have three packs of size one diapers. Plan on using at least thirty packs instead. LOL

Bailey was late and I ended up being induced, and she was still in newborn size diapers for well over a month. So you might want to have more on hand just in case. Don't open them and almost anywhere will let you exhange for a bigger size later on.

Good luck with everything and I am excited to hear about Freka's arrival VERY SOON!!

Two Lines on a Stick: I wasn't implying that we were done buying diapers, just saying we had a (small) stash of a couple of different sizes. Once she's actually here, we'll know what we'll need to stock up on!

OH I hope Freka comes soon for you. You never know, at least you're dilated some. Here's wishing you labor vibes.

Good luck with timing labour for your favourite doctor! Totally hear you - in fact now I'm hoping to hold out until Wednesday when my favourite of the 3 midwives from the practice we're using is back on call for a week or so...

Hmmmm. I'll have you know I've moved into the "refreshing" portion of our relationship. I'll be checking in on you something like, oh, thirty, forty times a day from here on out.

Since you didn't blog yesterday and I haven't seen you on gmail chat yet, I am wondering!!!
