39+6

It looks like baby will not be joining us before her due date, unless she has some quick plans for the next 3.5 hours. This is all fine and good as long as she doesn't procrastinate too much longer. I know that physically I'd be OK for another 2 weeks, but if she waits that long, Matt will be back at work in the MICU and that will be a huge bummer.

I had some periods of being really productive this weekend. I finally washed the kitchen floor (I can only imagine how silly that looked) finished packing things for the hospital, and enjoyed some quality time with Matt. Today I was pooped, so Matt resumed nesting by cleaning out the porch and sorting through closets in the basement. It's amazing to see the things that we've squirreled away over the years. Come to find out we have about 20 beige light switch and outlet plates left over from all of our painting projects. Anyone interested?

I've decided that tomorrow would be a good day for baby to come. Prior to today, I'd decided that last Saturday and today would be ideal as those were the only days this week that my midwife is at the hospital. Since we missed that, tomorrow would be OK with me. The house is clean, Matt took the dogs to the park today and they're all tired and I've run out of ways to spend my time. Yup, tomorrow would be fine.

Since the last post had no pictures, I'll include some this time. Here is the rabbit bunker in the back yard and the new quilt that I'm working on. I'm happier with the bunker than I thought that I would be and not as happy with the quilt as I thought I would be. Oh well.

Wish me luck in getting this kiddo out. I had a dream last night that I found out that she was a bird with a very sharp looking beak... yikes, I hope that's one dream doesn't come true!

I'll take your light switch plates! How much do you think it would cost to send them to Utah?

tomorrow looks good for me, too :) just remember to avoid my band concert Thursday and my dinner plans Saturday! :) JUST KIDDING - I will be more than happy to become an auntie any time! And I'm looking forward to some puppy time as well!

The rabbit bunker looks so tidy! I am jealous--tidy is not a word anyone will ever apply to my yard. And I like the colors on the quilt.

Don't worry about Matt going back to the MICU (whatever that is). I will send the PHI to negotiate for his release; I had a dream two nights ago that Nick and I were Peruvian Handwriting Inspectors (along the lines of UN arms inspectors) who had been kicked out of the country and were having to wait out the crisis in caves on the guano islands. So, since the PHI is at loose ends, I'm sure they can use their international influence on your behalf.
