To do before Bae comes

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.

  1. Finish last big project at work – almost done with first draft.
  2. Make it through whole team being in town – that happens this week.
  3. Pack birthing center bag.
  4. Finish reading The Hobbit to Bae – Bilbo is currently taking to Smaug, so we’re getting there.
  5. Get car seat bases into cars and clean car seat fabric (if needed).
  6. Prep pocket diapers as needed.
  7. 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.
