Had another Mifwife appointment this morning. Now measuring at 35 weeks instead of 37. Pretty sure that’s because Bae has dropped. I’m breathing a bit better and his head is certainly in my pelvis, so that’s all good. The midwife seemed very confident that since I went long with Little Prince, I’ll go long with Bae too. We also talked about making sure to get a tongue tie evaluation soon after birth.
I keep feeling like he can’t get here until x happens. Here is my current list for x.
- Finish last big project at work – almost done with first draft.
- Make it through whole team being in town – that happens this week.
- Pack birthing center bag.
- Finish reading The Hobbit to Bae – Bilbo is currently taking to Smaug, so we’re getting there.
- Get car seat bases into cars and clean car seat fabric (if needed).
- Prep pocket diapers as needed.
- Darius to finish last book of Malloerian. LP waited for him to finish the Black Jewels trilogy, so it may happen.
I keep coming up with dates I’d like him to be born on.
- Oct 21 is Back to the Future Day
- Oct 27 is the 17 year anniversary of my and Darius’s relationship.
- Oct 28 would make it so LP, Bae, and I all have birthdays on the 28th of the month.
- Oct 30 would put LP and Bae at 4 years, 4 months, 4 weeks, and 4 days apart.
Not that I really have control over it.
Here I am today at 37 weeks and 2 days.
