Baby is due TOMORROW!!!!\u00c2\u00a0 Statistically, 5% of babies are actually born on their due dates, so this means that I have a 1 in 20 shot of giving birth tomorrow!\u00c2\u00a0 I honestly don’t think that baby is coming out – tomorrow or ever.\u00c2\u00a0 I haven’t had any contractions and baby seams perfectly content to hang out where he is.\u00c2\u00a0 On the downside, my list of aliments is growing.\u00c2\u00a0 My knees have recently discovered that they are carrying around an extra 40 pounds (Isn’t that insane) and have started a protest.\u00c2\u00a0 At first it was just popping sounds, but this morning they stepped it up and brought on the pain.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh well, its a good excuse to sit with my feet up and blog.<\/p>\n
The issue of names is becoming increasingly urgent.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve had a girls name picked out for ages (since the second week we found out we were pregnant).\u00c2\u00a0 The boy’s name, on the other hand, has been a bit more…challenging.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve changed our mind more times than I can count, and at this moment in time – ONE DAY before my due date – we still don’t have a middle name we like.\u00c2\u00a0 I would love some help, but as we’ve vowed not to share names before the little tyke is born, I think it will be tough for you to pitch in.\u00c2\u00a0 I will say this.\u00c2\u00a0 The first name that we like is 2 syllables and our last name, Eivy, is also 2 syllables so I’m thinking that we need a middle name with lots of sylables – like Alexander.\u00c2\u00a0 My dear, sweet, confused husband however, is sold on the idea as Acious or Danger as a middle name.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not kidding.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve tried to convince him that this joke will be funny for about 10 seconds before it gets old and our poor child will be stuck with it for the rest of his life.\u00c2\u00a0 If you talk to my husband ever, please tell him that he is wrong!!!<\/p>\n
In other news, I woke up this morning inspired to plant a garden.\u00c2\u00a0 I made it as far as the car before I realized that gardening involves lots of bending over, which, in my current state, is probably not the best thing to be doing.\u00c2\u00a0 I know that I should be enjoying this time of rest, but I can’t help it.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been an over-achieving, super-producing person for the last 28 years.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m having a hard time “taking it easy”.<\/p>\n
I think I’ll go for a walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
