FOUR WEEKS exactly from today! Karen, at our office, asked me if I was excited or scared. My response...both...equally as strong. I am dying to see Olivia and hold her in my arms, but I am terrified of the feedings every two hours and not knowing what to do if she won't stop crying.
This weekend was rather exciting in the sense that we have more stuff for Olivia when she gets here. John and I went to Babies R’ Us to get the “necessities” that we will want to have when she arrives. I have one more baby shower to go, but I am not sure I want to wait until two weeks before the due date to get what we didn't at the shower. SO, if you were going to get us the pack n’ play, or the crib pads, sorry! :-) We also got some art to put in O’s room from Ikea. I am of the understanding that babies see high contrast things at the beginning, so we got some black and white images. It’s not what one would typically put in a nursery, per se, but I am hoping it will jump start her mind and she will be a child genius because of it :-)
While watching the Superbowl yesterday, and yes, sans beer pour moi, Abby asked if one was allowed to request music to be playing when the baby is born. Now, I have been thinking about this ever since I heard “Sexyback” by Justin Timberlake playing at the expo for the Outerbanks Marathon. Highly inappropriate, I know, but a rather motivating beat, no? I don’t know what type of music Abby was thinking about, but I think that Sexyback would really pump me up like at a sporting event or something…
Tonight is the meet n' greet with the pediatrician. Besides "can I call you at any time of the day?" I really am not sure what to ask. Most of the books I have provide sample questions, like "what are your thoughts on breastfeeding?", but I plan on breastfeeding, I know it's good, so who cares? My sister recommended the guy we are meet n' greeting, and I am looking forward to seeing, in person, the ball of enthusiasm that she has been raving about.
I have uploaded a video of what O moving around in my belly looks like, for those of you that are curious. Sorry about the bad lighting, but I am at the office. This is what I get after lunch. It's about 45 seconds long, but not much happens after the first 30 seconds. Most of the action is on my left side:
