It’s like I already have babies to take care of. And they aren’t even mine!

Dogsitting

This is a rare example of them both being good at the same time. Two seconds after this they got up and ran into the other room to bark at a noise. Just trying to keep me and my unborn child safe. Thanks guys.

Today is my due date. I do not have a baby yet. I am okay with this, although every other person that I know does not seem to be. I still get the constant questions about when she is going to come, am I still pregnant, and all that, which is understandable. I had a doctor appointment yesterday and I am still only one cenimeter dialated, still having no contractions, still no closer (physically) to having her than I was three weeks ago. It’s funny to me that months ago I imagined this being the cut off date. Like, I have been counting down to this day for so long, and now it’s here, and I am still not ready. I still have to install the carseat, put the clean bedding into her bassinet, finish unpacking my stuff, pack my hospital bag, and so on. I am not working anymore, so that makes it easier to get stuff done. It’s also really nice to be able to sleep when I feel like it and basically take it easy. I spend my time eating, napping, going online, watching tv, reading, working on “projects,” cleaning, dogsitting and cat wrangling. It’s pretty nice. A friend of mine who was due earlier this week drank castor oil on tuesday night and had her baby yesterday! While this has made a lot of (impatient) people I know ask me why I don’t do this, all it has made me do is start to freak out a little about how real this is, and how soon I am going to have a a real, live baby. I am fine waiting a few more days. My one grievance: I really thought she was going to be a Leo. The cutoff is tomorrow, and I don’t think she is going to be coming out anytime soon. So Holland is going to be a Virgo apparently. I don’t even know what to think about that.
