single digits

that's what we're in now- otherwise known as- it could probably happen at any time... crazy thought. are we ready? ready as we're going to be I guess, but i'm sure i'll think of a million things I need to do while we're on the way to the hospital.

we went to our childbirth express class yesterday. it went pretty well. other than the fact that it's 6+ hours worth of class. did we learn anything? I guess we'll find out when we actually are in labor. the only thing i learned from the videos is that I have a weak stomach, and i wasn't sure if i wanted to really have a baby... too late for that.

so we're trying not to have baby this week. my Dr.- Dr. Uma- is out in Dallas, or Denver taking her board exam. I'm sure she'll pass, and it'll be awesome that she's board-certified. I just hope that baby doesn't come while she's in this process. Also, our heating in the house is pretty jacked up right now- it either runs for hours at a time (our gas bill is going to be out of this world) or it doesn't run at all for hours at a time (and everyone freezes to death). Right now, it's choosing not to run, after running ALL night (it's exhausted, i'm sure), and it's 7 degrees outside. Lovely.

Dave is going to the Blackhawks game tonight with Chazzer. Chazzer has only asked him a million times, but we've always had plans or something else. I'm sure I'll go into labor while he's gone. It's only fitting. Lord, I shouldn't say things like that because I really don't want that happening.

ok, Dave keeps calling me to come downstairs, he can't figure out why i'm not down there already... Pin It!

revisiting the to-do list

today is December 17th. 12 days to go. let's see how the ol' to-do list is looking today. by the way. 1\2 a cm dialated!

1. finish Christmas shopping. we're almost finished, but we have both sets of parents, 2 brother in laws, and a sister in law left.

2. find a tree, buy said tree, put up tree. decorate house.

3. finish our regular house decorations as well.

4. unpack all our shower gifts in baby's room

5. put together remaining baby items

6. wash baby clothes

7. NAME BABY

8. get baby bedding ordered

9. finish decorating baby's room

10. celebrate Christmas

11. pack for hospital

so now my list is only consisting of 5 things- awesome! now that the bedding is here, it just needs to be washed and put on the bed, and then we can actually decorate the rest of the room. i'll probably go ahead & pack for the hospital as well (although my stuff is already together- just not in a bag). i'm feeling pretty accomplished here. things might actually get done in the next 12 days. 12 days. it doesn't even seem real. i'm pretty good at not actually thinking about it or freaking out. oh- i must add 2 things to the list- one that i am thinking about daily and freaking out about...

12. take our rings for their scheduled cleaning

13. figure out how to get my gma's ring off my finger in the event of a c-section Pin It!
