Right now my ob is insisting that I'm expecting a huge baby (she likes to remind me of this often), my endocrinologist on the other hand rolls his eyes at this and wonders when the obs are going to realise that not every diabetic mother has huge babies, especially ones with very good blood sugar control. I choose to listen to my endo and just say nothing now when my ob refers to my MONSTROUS baby. Right now baby Fung is approximately 5lbs and we'll find out next week how much bigger s/he has become.
I'm busy finishing off soakers that I've been knitting over the past 8 months or so (still have one more to finish) and making lists of all the things I need to do before baby gets here. I am so grateful for Amazon.com.co.uk and.ca! I am also very thankful for my friend Guinevere who has helped me so much with so much of the preparation for this baby.
Today I made a list for our hospital bag and started packing it a little bit. It's weird packing so far in advance but I suppose this is what I'm supposed to do. I think it'll take about a week to get it all done.
My pelvic bone has been bothering me a little too so I need to slow things down a little bit.
Tomorrow I work one last day at SMMS then I'm done. I'll miss that place but I really feel ready to be completely finished with work and focus on this little baby's arrival.
We have Thanksgiving next week which is when Andrew and I will get our Christmas tree and decorate it-can't wait! Waiting for a baby to come around Christmas time gives us a whole new understanding of advent. It makes it very special this year.
