Turkey day cometh
Bring it on, Turkey Day. I am so ready for you. You think I'll be battling the masses at the store on Wednesday night, an assumption that has history to back it? You're wrong. I have harnessed the power of Peapod for the betterment of our holiday spirit, and our groceries will be delivered tomorrow night. If I am to stay off of bedrest, is it not better to have someone else do the heavy lifting?
Baby D2 is quite excited about the upcoming feast. So much so that it is keeping him up at night, tossing and turning, reaching out for that lovely turkey (except that's my bladder you keep punching, lovey). We have a name. We love it. I'll tell you if you ask, because I can't keep secrets, but I won't put it online yet. It goes well with Gus and with Gustav. We're at 26 weeks, 2 days. For those who have forgotten (and how could you forget, with someone like me to remind you), I was on bedrest at 24 weeks with Gus. I feel like I'm on some kind of jail break. I've actually started thinking, what if I don't go on bedrest at all? What if this really is a completely different pregnancy and we've done all the right things to prevent bedrest and I'm out walking around at 36 weeks, gynormous and ready to pop? I already feel weird being in public and being noticed as being pregnant by strangers. There is no hiding it now. How do women conceal pregnancies up until the end? Beyond me.
Gus is getting pepped up for his second birthday. The big two. I think I'll need to get pepped up, too, as I'm both happy and sad...happy that we've made it to two relatively unscathed, with a little boy who is full of joy and love and trust and happiness, and for all intents and purposes looks like he'll maintain his good spirit for a few more years, at least (no promises once we hit 13). I'm also happy that John and I have embraced parenthood and that it has become such an integral part of our being that we cannot (and will never want to) imagine a time of not being parents to Gus.
