Ready….Or Not?
So Im still here at home.
Baby Barry is still having his one man party inside me. Apparently he doesnt quite get the phrase “ready or not, here i come!” Because according to my OBGYN, hes very much ready. Physically hes perfectly healthy and a good size and weight and hes full term…but hes more then content to ignore the “rules of the game” and hang out for longer then necessary.
Kind of typical that I would be having a stubborn child, just like his father already.
Still I decided that while I have nothing else to do but wait, Id clean out a stinky bag, give it a good wash and let it dry in the sun so that i can use it as my hospital bag. Well of course once it was clean and dry and sat on my bedroom floor it soon filled up, though not with anything I put in it.
You see, Asti and Stella decided that if im taking ANYTHING to the hospital with me, its going to be them and so they sat side by side in the bag waiting for something exciting to happen. As much as id love for the girls to come with me and im sure they’d have a great time with all the shiney objects to play with and beds to jump on and people to get attention from….Im very sure the hospital have a no pet policy. So sorry girls…you’ll have to stay here and guard the house….(i cant see that going too well..)
Gin on the other hand is more then happy to stay here and sleep and eat. Hes figured out something is going to change soon and hes not all that impressed with the baby furniture thats popped up all over the house. Hes going to be even less impressed with me when I take him for his vet appointment on Monday because he seems to have got a skin irritation under his chin that wont go away. Poor Gin!
On a side note, both my work mates that were expecting babies have now given birth. So im the last one. Nice going there baby. On monday I will be 41 weeks…place your bets, am i going to reach that mark?
