We had a nice little snowstorm today. Adia's school got out early, so she stayed home with us today. Around noon Dave went outside to check out the situation and decided it was safe enough to go grocery shopping. It was quite the interesting trip. Living in New England, you'd think people would be used to this kind of weather, but there were people riding their e-brakes, speeding (?), and just generally being kinda foolish. But on the bright side, Adia was quite well behaved in the store.
I am in my 30th week of pregnancy right now. I cannot believe in just ten more weeks I'll be holding a little baby boy. I keep wondering if I'm ready to do this again, but I'm sure that is something every mother feels, whether its her first, her third, or her seventh. (Good Lord, I could not imagine having seven children... or could I?) We are getting tons of hand me down clothes for the baby. All beautiful and in great condition! There are some things we need, still, but I'm sure we'll get them all in time. I have my (hopefully!) last ultrasound in a couple weeks. At that time they are going to check if my placenta is still really low and I believe at that time decide if I can do a normal vaginal delivery. I'm hoping I can!!! I'm determined to do this birth the way I think it should be done! I was unable to with my other two, so I'm hoping with this one it works out. At my last midwife appointment we talked about the birth - I am going to use a doula, so that I can stay home as long as possible, and then I hope to labor and give birth using a tub. I'm about 99% sure that we will not be circumcising him, and we will not be giving him any vaccinations at birth. I am more and more falling in love with my midwife. She even gave me info to find a pediatrician who does not push vaccinations. I understand its their jobs to offer them, but I hate being told I'm irresponsible for not vaccinating. Anyway... I do know that I need to start preparing for the baby. Pack a bag, etc.
Our three kittens are now litter box trained. We are giving away two of them right now, the girl, Nod, and one of the boys, Blinkin'. We are keeping Winkin' because he is handicapped. And eventually we will be giving away Leela, the mommy. It's hard, coz obviously we love them all, but four cats in our tiny apartment PLUS eventually a baby just doesn't work too well.
Alright. I must finish my jello and head to bed, coz this momma is tiiiiiiired.
