It's Coming!

I'm going to the hospital. Having contractions. I guess the induction issue is no longer a concern since I'm at 37 weeks. Thank goodness. The baby might be born on 11/11/11. Who knows?

Yesterday, I went to have an ultrasound. As I was looking at the screen, I said, "Oh there's an ear. It's fully developed."

The ultrasound tech cleared her throat, "That's the scrotum."

Oh," I said. I didn't know what to say so I said, "I guess I don't look at those every day to recognize it." (Maybe not the best answer.)

Well, wish me luck for an easy delivery. The ultrasound doctor said he will be either 9 or 10 lbs.

And no more late night television because I can't sleep! Last night, I was watching an animal show at 2 A.M. in the morning where a woman in Australia was keeping 3 alligators as pets in her house. One drove around in her backseat with a collar on. I was yelling at the T.V., "Are you nuts!" And then I realized, I'm the nut for watching pet alligators on T.V. at 2 A.M.

Maybe after the baby, I can sleep agai. Oh wait, that's right, the baby will be up in the middle of the night for feedings. Okay, maybe in a year? God help me. :o)

Just a quick update

We had another ultrasound. The bladder looks fine. So I think the same problem will not happen with this baby like Sebastien. We couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl because the baby was crossing its legs. Hopefully, with the next ultrasound in July we will be able to tell in order to get ready.

Olivia is doing fine. We have a summer pool pass for the community pool. It has a large swimming pool and a really great sand play area. This is what we do most days, either go to the pool or the library, sometimes the park. It's not a bad way to experience the summer. When I have time to myself, I like to go out in the backyard and read either a magazine, a cookbook or most often, a novel by Dean Koontz. I try to walk the dogs everyday to get them out and because they like it so much.

A few weekends ago, we went to Warren Dunes and stayed in a very small cabin. It was nice but not as fun as I hoped. It rained most days and after seeing a picture by the bathroom of a snake that could be around (even though it was harmless) I woke up many times during the night thinking there was a snake on me. (Don't give me a visual of a snake if you don't want me to dream about it!)
