I'm going to celebrate anyway today. It's predicted to be a gorgeous, sunny, spring day here in the PNW. I've got a massage scheduled....it's free pastry day at Starbucks and free cone day at Ben & Jerry's....it will be a lovely day and I'm going to try to enjoy the last days of my pregnancy as this is probably the only time we will be doing this.
Some memorable moments.....
Simon's Eleven Week Ultrasound
Simon's Twenty Week Ultrasound (on my birthday)
The weekly baby newsletters, the ones that tell you what your baby and body are up to, equate the size of the baby now to a size of a watermelon. Yes, this is an image that a woman at term wants to imagine coming out of her body in a few short days, a watermelon. But I guess I have to say, a watermelon is smaller then the baby whale I've been envisioning of late due to my baby's enjoyment of whale song and Hawaiian hula.
Markus is way, way ready and very excited. Though his recent request to change Simon's name to Mario Kart is more than a little disturbing. I've stopped answering this question...logic doesn't seem to have any impact on this argument. He's asked Simon to come on a couple of occasions where he has wanted out of some meetings. I think this is not the way to entice a baby to be born and think we should start using reverse psychology. But then I'm afraid he'll call my bluff and stay in there until he's the size of the Farmer John's Blue Ribbon Watermelon.
Come on out, Simon (except can you wait until I have my massage?), Love Mom

Umm, Liz, this business about your pregnancy is all well and good, but what's this about free pastries and cones? (Teehee) Thanks for your blog; I was hoping you'd start one so those of us outside of PDX could be kept up to speed. Best wishes birthing your watermelon! -Kelly
ReplyDeleteI told Nick we could choose "normal" comic book or Star Wars names--Clark, Kent, Peter, Parker, Luke, Leah--but no weird ones. For awhile he was stuck on "Jedi Master Meier." That choice seemed to be impervious to logic, as well. I guess Scarlett just dodged the bullet. Sending you expulsion energy!
ReplyDeleteHey, I was only born about 34 days late, so it could be a while. I'm sure if you were at LBJ, he'd be more excited to get out an into the super-clean environment.
