I love that Al Jareau song. And no, he doesn't really sing about mucous plugs. I am just trying to think of a catchy title but maybe it's just a little gross.
It is 7 am. I got up at 6:30. I could have slept in, and really it's probably one of the last times I will be able to sleep in for a year unless we find someone to take our kids for a weekend. Oh we will..we will..
Anyway, I am so excited not to have to go to school, I can hardly stand it. This is the first summer I am not working in about 5 years, and I feel like a free woman. Until I give birth later today.
Just kidding. I am not giving birth today, probably.
I did lose the all important "mucous plug" yesterday and there is not a grosser term on this planet. Well, maybe except for the word FUP, but I digress.
"What excactly is the mucous plug?" Will asked all interested.
"Well, think of the cork on a bottle. Now think of the cork coming lose. Now picture me drinking that entire bottle of wine..wait..that was not part of the medical explanation. Never mind."
"Did you save it?"
"Wh- What??!!"
"I want to see it, did you save it?"
"Oh Good God, no. I am not fishing something crude out of the potty just because you have some weird " little boy" fascination with the gross. Just ask the Dr. to keep the placenta for you this time."
See how gaggy this blog is getting?
Anyway, I go to see Dr. Heegaard today and I KNOW he is around to deliver because I checked in with his radio show last night. I wanted to make sure he was back from his weekend away. I almost called in just to give him an update on my plug, but decided that was a little much.
"Hi um, this is an anonymous caller, well, I'll just say it..It's Melissa, Dr. Heegaard, and um, you know I know you're busy handing out advice on your show right now, but I just wanted to let you know that I'll see you tomorrow, and um, you know I lost my mucous plug."
God. Just what 5000 listeners need to hear.
You can kind of tell I am excited about it though, right? I mean it's not every pregnant girl who has their Ob on the RADIO. (You thought I was excited about the mucous plug-ha ha, tricked you!) He's probably met Kortney Kardashian or at least one of the Real Housewives! Maybe I should have called in. Everyone has a mucous plug at one time or another right?
Oh I will just give it a rest. But go back and count how many times the term mucous plug was used in this blog and win a prize!
Okay, so hopefully the next time I write I will have some news about the longest pregnancy in history. Namely, mine.
Happy Monday!
