Just Another Day..



It is Saturday and my brother-in-law is getting married today. I am at home, missing the wedding, and feeling a little blue. I don't like missing big, fun famiy events to stay home with my elephant. Elephants have a gestational period of two years, apparently. I am giving birth to an elephant, although the trunk did not show up in the last ultrasound, so maybe I am wrong and just touchy these days.
Keegan is wearing his tuxedo today, and I pray that he just makes it down the aisle, and my mom can whisk him away before he says too much to anyone up front. I don't think the pastor wants to hear about Frank the Combine while he is trying to marry Zach and Megan.
My step-dad is here to "watch" me in case anything happens. I made him watch the Real Housewives of New York reunion last night with me, and he got pretty twitchy. I am wondering if he was wishing he was back home in the woods. Sigh.
Anyway, I was instructed not to do anything that would bring on labor this weekend. I think it's telling that all of a sudden Will is subscribing to that theory when he's gone, whereas while he's been here, he hasn't believed any of my old wives' tales.
Monday I am OFFICIALLY 39 weeks (yeah whatever) and going back to see Dr. H. I think he is going to try to move things along a little on Tuesday or Wednesday because when I saw him Thursday and grabbed him by the neck, he could tell I am a little desperate to be done.
Which is an interesting phrase, because there is nothing "done" about finally having the baby is there? It's really just the beginning.
I am so thankful to be finished with the school year because if I had to see one more sympathetic face or hear, "Still here, huh" one more time, I was going to punch someone, and our principal doesn't like me anyway, so hitting her wouldn't have been a good idea.
Today it is a cloudy and overcast, and I think I'll go shopping. I can only really shop for baby clothes because I REFUSE to buy anything else that would fit THIS figure and who knows how long it's going to take to wear anything with a real waistband again. I also am on a real knick knack phase. But I know Will will kill me if bring home any more glass birds. So maybe by the next time I write, there will be some real news. Either that or I will update you about what Bethenny said to Jill at the reunion special because that's more interesting than me just waiting around.
