Still here...and baby holding firm to my insides
I get a really funny look from people at work now when I go in, like, what are you still doing here? Well, the answer is, the air conditioning at the lab is awesome, and there is no better place to be for someone who has to take a cold shower every night just to survive the heat and humidity. I'm still getting a little bit of work done too, and it doesn't seem like there's any reason to sit at home yet...
So it's pretty hard to make plans around this baby already! My parents are going to be in NJ this weekend for a family party, and were talking about coming up to see us and the baby tonight or tomorrow night. Only problem is, no baby yet. I think we are getting closer though, since my hormones seem to be gearing up for something! More than a couple of tears were shed at the Harry Potter movie...
We'll all meet the baby soon enough though, and the grandparents will be able to come next weekend too. My mom is going to stay to help us for almost a week, which will be very very good. Isaac and I took an infant care class, where we learned to wrap a baby doll in a blanket, and I really can't remember a single other thing that we learned.
I'm definitely taking Stacy's advice though, and treasuring the last few days (baby willing) of this pregnancy. I keep thinking, is this the baby's birthday? Is tomorrow? Now it's Friday the 13th...so I'm wondering if I should hope that we hold out until Bastille Day?

I feel for you with the heat & humidity- poor pregnant girl! But soon enough you'll be getting no sleep for another reason- baby is hungry, baby is wet, baby wants to just stay up all night. So I would agree with Stacy, although I've never been pregnant- just mistakenly called pregnant, enjoy what you have left of being pregnant. Have Isaac get you some spicy food- that's supposed to help. And sex- I hear that helps, too.
And my vote is for today- I think it would be super fun to have my bday on Fri the 13th. But I'm macabre, so you might prefer Bastille Day tomorrow.
So are you going to have Isaac log in & post that you've had the baby? Or at least send us an email? I'm gonna be dying to know!

I know...I shouldn't complain about the sleep thing, the deprivation is definitely yet to come.
Yesterday we walked a lot, and went to the Met Museum, and ate Thai food, then walked some more, and I went to work and stood up for a while. Then I went to church and prayed for some labor. This morning, nada, but there are many hours left in the day!
