Rocking The Gown

We just got checked in. I love my gown.

Push Him Out, Push Him Out Way Out!

We are scheduled for an induction sometime tomorrow. Can you believe the hospital calls you and gives you a half hour window to come in? I told the nurse she was nuts and that I have many other choices of hospitals to select from. They said I would be first on the call list. Also, I have my own hospital gown. I plan on wearing it during labor and then doing a quick wardrobe change before giving birth. She acted like I was insane. Even James brown had like four wardrobe changes at his funeral. She told me to limit my luggage. Is she can weigh it like the airlines? I wonder if insurance covers this. This hospital is suppose to be known as the baby factory. Maybe the emphasis is on factory and not on customer service. Email me if you want to know the name of the hospital. I am off to get a manicure and a pedicure.

Preparing for labor

So the husband and I have been nesting all day. The husband is at the golf course. He says the good doc recommended it and that it is okay. Hmmm! I cleaned out the refrigerator and the freezer. Everything is organized alphabetically and by category. I then moved on to the pantry. Each can and box are all in their place. I went to the grocery store and stocked up on bread, milk,toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, Tide and water. I don't know if I am preparing for a baby or a snow storm. Then the cooking started. I have made homemade croutons, sugar cookies, and peanut butter cookies. I also sliced fresh peaches and used the food saver to freeze them in individual bags. I am contemplating making homemade spaghetti sauce with our homegrown tomatoes.

This afternoon I worked on squats and stretches to prepare for child birth. I wonder if you can inject your vagina with steroids. Probably not. Just a thought. I did have someone recommend an herbal tea to strengthen the uterus for childbirth. Steroids/herbal tea. Tomorrow we have an appointment with the good doc. Wish me luck. I think I am going to take a nap.

Bring your zoloft

The husband and I have been trying to adapt the neurotic cat to the coming addition. When I was 5 months the cat completely lost his mind. The cat therapist, yes I said cat therapist, said that the cat can sense my hormone change. The cat believes the husband is now the alpha. He will not listen to me. I rescued him from the humane society. The husband hates the cat. We have followed some techniques recommended by the cat whisperer. The cat thought the nursery was his. We would find him rocking in the glider. The cat would fall asleep in the sitting room with me. I would leave the room to do something. The cat would wake up in a panic and scream until he found me. They said he might need an antidepressant and regular appointments with the therapist. I hope all goes well when we arrive home with G3. Anyone have any tips? Please leave a comment.

Giving the elephant a run for its money

Elephants are the largest land animals.[1] The elephant's gestation period is 22 months, the longest of any land animal. At birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh 120 kilograms (260 lb).


Well today I feel like the largest land animal. I also believe this baby is never coming out.

I woke the husband up this morning to go for a walk with me. He says," But I just walked with you last night." Even dogs get to walk more than once a day.

Maybe I should go hang out at the zoo to get some comfort from the elephants.
