I had the first of my now-weekly doctor’s appointments this morning.   (I’m sure my OB is thrilled to have me be the first smiling face he sees on this and the next 2 Monday mornings!!)  All appears to be fine- some indications of moving in the right direction towards actually birthin’ this  baby, but nothing too exciting.   I told him conversationally that we’d love for this kid to come in December and then I immediately felt bad because I didn’t want him to think I’m one of those psychos who either a) thinks she has control or b) demands for something to be done to make it happen.  Hopefully, it’ll all come to pass in good timing on its own!

We drove to Alexandria, VA yesterday to visit some friends and then see another friend perform in FBC Alexandria’s “Living Christmas Tree” presentation.  I should clarify that I performed the role of chauffeur (chauffeuse?) in this adventure since Seth wanted to multitask by sitting in the back installing the car seat.  He doesn’t quite have it secure enough yet but at least it’s on its way to being ready to go.  Seth also worked really hard Saturday evening to get all the trim painted in Baboo’s room.  We still have to stain the rocking chair, hang assorted things on the wall, and wash all the bedding and clothes but at least we’re making progress!
