Dry Run (30w2d)

Tuesday and Wednesday (tomorrow and the day after) Paul and I are gonna do a little dry run with the UStream gizmo – the thing we’re gonna use to put the baby shower up on the web with.

So if you’re thinking of watching part of the shower on Saturday it might be a good idea to stop by tomorrow or Wednesday at 6:00pm Pacific time (so 7:00pm Mountain, 8:00pm Central, and 9:00pm Eastern) and see if you can get hooked up to not only see AND hear us, but to say hello in the chat window and have us respond!

Just come back to the website and click on the link above that says “Webcast.” That’s all you should need to do! We’ll leave the webstream up for about an hour on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings as we dink around. Please pop into the chat to say hello if you stop by. (Or if that doesn’t seem to work, you can shoot either of us an email and we’ll connect with you some other way!)

SO much, and SO little! (30w2d)

There is so much I wanna write about, but holy cats am I tired.

  • Mother’s Day was great, once Paul and I got done killing ourselves to put the house together. We’re almost done, which is good cuz we’ll have guests this weekend! We had Paul’s parents and Nonny over for a great dinner.
  • Mother’s Day wishes were appreciated, but weirded me out kinda a lot. I do not see myself as a mom yet, and it seems like asking for trouble to take something like that for granted with as high-risk as I am.
  • The house looks fantastic. The Guest Room/Office is stellar. The baby’s room is amazing. My bedroom is incredible. The house seems more open with the slight shifting of furniture, and the removal of a ton of clutter. We’re about 90% put back – gotta refill the bookcases and such. Paul’s parents have been MONUMENTALLY helpful in helping us get our house put back together.
  • My work shower is Thursday and my family/friends shower is Saturday. Paul and I CANNOT WAIT to see our friends and family this weekend. We’re literally giddy at the thought of seeing our friends.
  • We’re having an open house of sorts right before the shower (until we head over to Tom & Jeanne’s place) so anyone who wants to see the house and nursery can stop by.
  • School finishes for me this week, and I am so happy. One less non-baby thing I have to focus on right now is so appreciated.
  • Foot swelling is still epic. A pedicure didn’t help the swelling, but I feel so much better for getting it.
  • Belly pains are increasing. I can’t be up on my feet for very long before they kick in. Not cramping or contractions – just a dull constant pain across what would be my bikini line if I’d ever worn a bikini.
  • I ordered our cloth diapers. Ended up going with a different style that hopefully will eliminate the need for disposables all together. We’ll be starting out with prefolds and covers – which is the modern version of what Paul and I were in as babies. We’re planning on still getting some of the Pocket style diapers too, but not for at least a month or two.

Ok, really. That’s all I’ve got right now cuz I’m falling asleep sitting up.
