Due date +3

Posted in Babies at 4:43 pm by Ann

Well, remember how I kept saying that I’m feeling fine and comfortable and don’t really mind being pregnant? That’s not so true anymore. There are definitely people who have the right to complain a lot more than I do, but I am now experiencing my share of achy joints and general cumbersome-ness. However, I still sleep great, and I’m thankful for that.

No sign of baby emerging yet, of course. Jon and I feel a bit emotionally exhausted from the suspense, but we are trying to handle it well. Here are some of the bizarre things that can be heard in our home lately:

• (every time the phone rings) “Is that Baby Girl calling?”
• “Come out, Baby!” (at least once every 30 minutes or so)
• “I am a hippo.”
• “Where’s baby???”
• “I am grumpy!”

I’ve been wondering if I should start eliminating chocolate from my diet so that Baby Girl will have to come out to get some. Is she just too content in there?

In a desperate attempt to entertain myself, I have been baking. But somehow these recipes just aren’t working! Is it pregnancy brain? Am I not concentrating hard enough? The chocolate torte I attempted yesterday was a flop (although a very yummy flop — we have been eating it more like a pudding in cups). And today’s cheesecake positively overflowed when I started to pour it in the pan — does the recipe not say “use a 10” pie plate”? I think the last time I made it, I used a springform pan — must make a note of this.

Plans for this evening: clean the house, take a bath. Maybe Baby Girl wants to know that we have baths out here, too.
