Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Happy Inaugeration Day.
Happy 9 days til my due date Day…and nothing. No water breaking. No
contractions. Well, nothing except a lack of sleep. Baby had me up from about 4
am until after 6 am. In that time, I was very anxious about labor. Then I
started hoping it really is a girl. That led me to feel terrible so I Googled
whether or not I am a terrible mother
for hoping it’s a girl. (Turns out, I’m not. At least according to the articles
I chose to read. It’s called “gender disappointment” and I am supposed to
recognize and acknowledge my feelings and guilt and then know that I will get
over it the moment I meet and fall in love with my baby.) At about 5 a.m., I
ordered a baby tub that I am really excited about. It’s called the Blooming Bath
for babies – it’s precious. Looks adorable and seems very practical for
newborns. I will let you know!
Working today with the inauguration celebration on in the
background. Also sneaking in some time to work on pressure points on my feet
that supposedly encourage baby to drop and induce labor. That stuff I will try.
The others I discussed? No thank you. I was very
productive yesterday and so today I am taking it a bit easy besides work. Pray
for something to happen. Preferably,
something painless and quick but at this point, I will take anything.
9 days to go!!!
