- We've made it to 36 weeks. And unless something looks really bad on the monitors this week, I won't be delivered until at least 37. Which is full term. Which is fabulous. My new goal is a 5 lb baby.
- Last day at the local farmer's market. We came home with a loaf of whole grain bread, cauliflower, corn (!), sweet peppers, apples, lettuce, kale and chard. Now I just need to figure out how we'll eat all those veggies this week...
- My mom visited. And took care of many LG-related tasks, including a trip to the mall and two Halloween events, while I lay in bed and read.
- My mom visited. And M. came over, and between them they moved about half the furniture in the upstairs of my house and set up a crib. Yes, people, I have a crib directly across from my bed. And I am not completely freaked out. I do, however, have a picture of IVF Kitten in the crib, which I might post later.
- It seems my house is ready for Mr. Baby Man to arrive. All I need to do is install the car seat (or go to the police station and have them wrangle with the car seat) and, as A has reminded me, that can just as easily be done by someone else while I'm in the hospital. And you know, that's just how it might go down. It seems the universe has granted me a little bit of time in which to finish a conference paper, lounge around, and gestate.
- That whole tenure thing. Feels anticlimactic after all the drama of last March, but, really, could not have come at a better time. Talk about a big sigh of relief. What a way to end my 39th year...

Woohooo for 36 weeks! That's so great - and perhaps not just a *small* good thing. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck eating all those veggies.
Congrats on your tenure! My comments don't seem to be posting lately. . . And congrats on 36 weeks! Wonderful news and a 5 pound baby sounds perfect. I so enjoy when you post about Farmer's Market visits. My bf and I ritually visit the Farmer's Market Sunday morning and I love it for so many reasons.
ReplyDeletea crib! you're a brave woman. I can't wait until your young man arrives!
