39 weeks and three days
Out of coffee this morning so I made an early trip to Starbucks for an Americano, overloaded with cream and luke warm. The good news? I didn't have to turn left to head to work, but RIGHT instead to head back home!! Ah, I LOVE being off work!! Popped my coffee in the micro and voila - instant gratification.
It's going to be another beautiful day here in A-town, and I wish I could work in the yard, but alas, I have a beautiful baby in my belly who won't allow me to bend over. Dad arrives tomorrow and has asked many times if there will be yard work to do. Guess who's gonna be pulling weeds next week, providing Stella Grace hasn't arrived?
Speaking of Stella Grace's arrival, the kiddie pool came in yesterday. We're all set. If she decides to arrive today or tomorrow, we've got all the supplies we need. Our birthing kit and bags of birthing supplies are on the dresser by the bed ready to go. Got the grass fed beef bone broth made, plenty of supplies for chocolate and peanut butter brownies for the midwives, and now the kiddie pool - bring it on.
It's so strange just being off waiting for a baby now, not knowing exactly when she'll arrive. Talk about surrendering. That's all I can do. So, to keep me busy, I sew, watch Dexter, eat, surf the net, and breathe. Breathing is good. I'm not feeling impatient - just curious. It's foreign to me this not knowing when. I usually have everything planned and timed. But not this thing, no, I am forced to experience what it is truly like to not know. I kinda like it. People say some moms-to-be go stir crazy leaving work early to wait for baby. Not me. I freakin' love it. But I am a homebody after all. I always find something to do. I wonder if Stella Grace will be one to entertain herself like I was/am or will she be more like her father, needing to get out, not interested in the home much? We'll one day find out...
Today's agenda: fix glider, pick up cushion for glider, make soft fabric toy, watch Dexter, make egg salad for lunch, maybe a run to IKEA for a new frame that broke yesterday.
