Baby's Little Corner

All ready! Just awaiting the little one. Gulliver crib from Ikea. A steal at only $75 new! It's actually really sturdy and I like the clean lines. Dwell Studio for Target sheets and bumper set. Very pretty and soft ... <3 <3! Will probably have to take out the bumper when baby is born lol

Another Week. Another Dr's Appointment.

1cm dilated. Feeling more crampy but nothing very painful. Doctor did a membrane sweep. Perhaps that will get things started? Induction scheduled for 12/23. That's about 7 days after my due date. Apparently it gets booked up before Christmas so we gotta reserve our spot. So babs, please don't wait till the 23rd. Not if you don't want your thunder to be stolen by Jesus. XOXO mommy.

Friday Pix

Got some ice cream at Ici Ice Cream. My favorite shop in Berkeley. So friggin good. Had the chocolate candied orange ice cream in a home made cone. Mmmm! Also don't you hate it when your DH says he doesn't want any but then proceeds to eat half your cone anyway?!

And check out their selection of holiday dessert! So pretty ...

Doctor's Appointment

8 More days to December 16. 120lbs. I'm not sure being weighed in clothing is very accurate :P Very slightly dilated. 0.5cm is that even dilated? Many more CM to go!

Still anxiously waiting. All eyes on me bleargh:

Today I Bought ...

What else can one do while waiting for baby to pop? Shop online duh ...

1) Postpartum girdle. To squeeze that tummy flab back in shape. Please work.

2) Crib mobile for the little one. Not sure why we need this now since newborns have poor eyesight :P But whatever.

3) And yesterday I bought. Medela Pump In Style Advanced. Such a good deal at CSNStores with no tax and free ship. Price came out to $220. I LOVE a good deal. $309 on Amazon. Booya!

Must. Have. Positive Thoughts.

I don't want to jinx myself but I'm feeling like I need some positive reinforcement to make it through the next couple days.

Epidural will be on hand if the pain threshold is busted. Baby will latch like a pro. I will have ample milk supply. I will lose the weight and thunder thighs quickly. Really it's all water weight. Everything will go smoothly. Breathe.

Am wondering too if the hospital will have a hairdryer? Will they think I'm a crazy lady if I called and ask?

The "Bucket List"

16 more days to go or LESS! Haven't had to cook or do the dishes in ages thanks to DH. I think I'm gonna miss being pregnant waaahhh! Not to mention the aftermath. Since the window of our childless life is closing. My goals for week 38:

1) Watch Harry Potter 7 Check!
2) Have dim sum at Koi Garden. Almost as good as HK I swear.
3) Buy a plush bathrobe
4) Sleeep

Lofty aspirations ... I know :)

Old list check. Still waiting ...
