Updates…
So I had the week off of work to play with Mason and help out mom. We are figuring out the sleeping thing, the pooping thing, etc. so I should be ok by monday when it is time to go back to work.
Mason rules, but I'll leave that to his blog... My mom made mexican spinach casserole thing and it was good, but it reminded me about how much I want to eat the tortilla casserole from cornell. That was good. I miss that. So good.
Other than that, nothing super exciting has happened. Robyn and Scott came by to visit, it was nice. Robyn was saying that babies are lots of work, and they are, but it is fun anyway. Everyone should get one! heehee
The couch came on wednesday afternoon, SO nice. It fills the room VERY well, and it is so so nice to have a place to sit. So nice. I think it looks really good. There are some pics on fotki, but they aren't great.
Other than that, we hang out with the baby and lay low.
more baby updates…
are here. The current updates will be there until post birth and everything calms down a tiny bit.
1:39 update…
Around 12:20am when gail got here, I headed out shopping. Since we weren't ready for such an early date, we were somewhat ill prepared. Primary things we needed were the hose, the tarp, and caroline said we needed honey. I went out and about and ended up at dominicks. They had honey. So while I was going to fill the pool via hose, I used large tuperwares. And the plastic that was already on the floor will have to do. Thankfully I started on the crib and we had lots of cardboard.
Rebecca has fully given up on the noises and is pretty much breathing and waving her arms in a circular motion. While it sounds odd, it appears to be working quite well for her and she is getting through each contraction nicely.
When I returned from shopping, I was informed that the contractions have slowed a bit and we are at 6-7 min between each one. Very nice as it gives Rebecca a chance to rest. I have the pool nearly 1/2 way full and as soon as the water heater gets back in the mix, I will finish it off.
It is still odd that there is so little I can personally do, but we appear to be progressing quite nicely.
hearing your baby's heart rate
is really pretty cool. each and every time cool. that is all.
