Today this baby is considered full-term, which means that my doctor will be very happy if I go into labor any minute! I had to have another appointment today because my blood pressure was high again on Wednesday – thankfully it was back down a bit and my blood work came back normal, so there was no talk of inducing yet. I’ll be shocked if they let me go all the way to my due date, though…<\/p>\n
I was going to get pictures of Anouk this afternoon, but by the time we got home there wasn’t good light left on the deck. On the way home from the doctor’s office, the window in the car fell off its motorized track and plummeted into the door, so we drove right to the mechanic. Apparently, this is a known problem with the 2000 model year Jettas, because there’s an extended warranty to cover it, but it’s still a pain in the tush. I’m just glad we have two cars and I’m not allowed to drive right now! Oh, and I’m very glad that the window didn’t shatter when it fell inside the door, because that’s a much more complicated thing to fix.<\/p>\n
Thanks for all the comments yesterday. Let’s see – to answer a couple of questions… No, we don’t have a name yet, but even when we make a final decision (it’s a pretty short list) we’re not planning on telling until she’s born – to be honest, we probably won’t make a final decision until then anyway. And the car seat base is being installed first thing tomorrow morning – we read through the manual last night, and realized that it is pretty complicated! I’m not annoyed by unsolicited advice – I just hate the “oh, wow, you look like you’re about to pop!” type comments. (Although I will admit – sorry Tina – that my belly button is an outie more often than an innie now. Does that mean the baby’s done and ready to come out of the oven?)<\/p>\n
OK, so tomorrow I’ll get those pictures. I promise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
