Update!

[melcena]

I haven't posted in ages because really, how many times do folks want to hear about me feeling tired, fat, and cranky. But I figured I'd update since it's after the baby's due date and folks might want to know how things have been going. He's still in the belly, by the way.

Little Sam is doing fine, he doesn't have much room left but he still wiggles. The doc says his approximate weight is currently between 4200g (9lbs 4oz) and 4300g (9lbs 7oz).

A clip of conversation from the doctor's office: (translated)
Nurse: *looking at CDG* Oh, look at that, no signs of contractions. When is your due date?
Me: Yesterday.
Nurse: ... Oh.

I have an appointment to go back for anther CDG on Monday. Provided I haven't popped yet.

In other news, we have everything ready. Seriously. Just add baby. Car seat is in the car, as is the hospital bag. Crib, changing table, clothes, "just in case" formula. ALL READY TO GO! The house is even being maintained at a decent level of clean.

Also, they've torn up the road in front of our driveway so we have the Skoda parked at a neighbor's, who has a driveway on a different road. And, of course, the way to the hospital we've chosen is blocked off meaning we'll be taking a detour down a little road that is generally reserved for tractors. It's paved and in decent shape, so that's something. It'll just take longer to get there.

Yeah, and he's only going to get bigger while he's in there. After this we might decide to have just one after all!

I think you got spambots

Weird! I deleted them all. *shakes her fist at them* They should at least entertain me with something readable!

Yay! I'm so excited for you and Jens and the much-anticipated timmeh. Don't forget to post hundreds and hundreds of baby piccies!

Aww thanks! Will do! If he ever actually comes out!

It's only natural for the roads to get torn up right before you need them!

The funny thing is, before we had toured the hospitals and made a decision that way, Zschopau got an extra point because of construction on the way to the hospital in Freiberg.

SRSLY KID, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DO CRAZY THINGS LIKE ROLL OVER IN MY SLEEP AND PICK THINGS UP OFF THE FLOOR!

I love the Time Share idea. He is so going to get charged extra for not vacating the premises at the appointed time. ;-)

He's a stubborn little guy, I see. I'm wishing you all the best. I'm totally not surprised that everything is ready. Yey!

Stubbornness and procrastination run on both sides of the family, he may never come out. ;-)

All the best, and I want to see pics, please, when you are finally the parent of a beautiful little atmosphere succumbing rug-rat. :)

Will do! :-)
