One Month to Go!
With just a month left until my due date, I’ll be having a doctor’s appointment every week until the baby comes. Today I got my favorite of the four doctors, the pretty one who has herself been on maternity leave for the past couple months. So we chatted about her experience (she has a little girl, and she had a c-section because it was a breech birth, and she says she thought she’d be prepared for the sleep deprivation of caring for a newborn because she did a residency, but in fact taking care of the baby is harder). She took my weight and my blood pressure, measured my belly, poked around in my hoo-hah, made a few notes on my chart, and then smiled at me approvingly and said “You’re doing great medically.” So nice to hear!

Yay! Look at that pretty pregnant lady. I hope you aren’t too uncomfortable….

I’m really not too uncomfortable. Nina told me that I’m the least whiny eight-months-pregnant lady she knows, which makes me proud. Of course I’d probably be a lot more whiny if I were still working…it’s pretty easy to be even-keeled when I am dealing with no greater demands than a rousing game of Civilization.

Dear Shannon,
Aside from appearing to only have one leg, you look great! I just managed to find your blog, and really enjoyed your commentary. Particularly liked the idea of time-bending when caring for infants.
You’re almost there.
Breathe.
Love, Eileen

Hee! Yes, I’m twisted around in a funny way in that pic. Thanks for your kind words!
