4 weeks to go

We’re now at the 8month mark. I have to see the doctor every week now so we can check my progress. The swelling in my feet is always there, but the severity comes and goes depending on how much salt I’ve eaten. This last week, my brother introduced us to a bbq chicken pizza. I thought I would be okay as I’ve been keeping my salt level down, but noooo, I ballooned pretty good. Even my hands got involved. I checked my blood pressure but it was very normal.

I’m ready to be done. I’m waddling everywhere now, and I’ve been very tired as I’ve had a lot of activities to take kids to. Right now, we’re working on a Roadshow for church. Basically it’s a 10 minute musical based on some theme that the Stake gives us. Each Ward then has to come up with an origional idea based on that theme. I can’t be too involved myself because I”m still on probation, but my kids are involved and I’m providing some sound equiptment to help augment the band they’ve put together. It should be fun, if tiring.

BG finally got bit by the baby bug. I’ve been trying to get his feedback on names and such, because this child is partly his and I think it’s only fair that he have some say. But he’s been trying to ignore it as much as he can. Not that I can blame him. However, last week he ended up helping out in the Pediatric wing and there were a couple of newborns in the nursery. He says that it finally hit him that he had one coming. (about time) Two days later he had a huge list of names for us to go through. All I could do was smile. We finally have a boys name we like, and I just can’t settle on any girl names. They all feel wrong.

    My money’s been on “boy” since the start, but we all know how good I am at prognostication.

    Good for him, though. Ideally he’d make a commitment to be directly involved in the child’s upbringing. I speak with firsthand experience: The more (mature) adult influences in a kid’s life, the better… and the lack of it CAN indeed harm. I’ve been on both sides of that “lack” over the years, dammitall.

    I’m betting boy. And I learned my lesson on not suggesting names…after suggesting my god-daughter’s name to her father (my ex) and him not mentioning where he got the suggestion to the baby’s mother. Awkward, wot?
