38 weeks preggo.

It was a good day. I love it when a good day creeps up on you unexpectedly.
First, I managed to get a nap in at the doctor's office. Yep, she's notoriously late and unconcerned with how much time she makes you wait. So, whilst in the exam room, I laid down on that exam table and got a decent 30 minutes of shut eye. The nap was SOOOOOO good that I wasn't bugged when she told me that I was not dilated. Yep, she even told me that last week's suggestion that I was dilated to "maybe a 1" was incorrect. Have you ever known a pregnant lady to un-dilate? Folks, this is my kind of luck. Call me. I'll tell you about. Better yet, remind me, and I'll blog about my condition: it is a little known syndrome called, "Jungle Girl." You'll know right away if you have it.
Then, after dropping Noah off at the ferry, the boys and I headed out to grocery shop. As I walked into the grocery store and reached in for my list (I DO NOT shop without a list, otherwise cu-razy stuff happens), I realize that I didn't have it.
It could have been an "Ahhhhhhhhhh, Maaaaaaannnnnnnn!!!!!" Moment.
BUT THENI saw the fun size bag of snickers on sale for $1.89. Would you pass that up? You'd be a darn fool to. And since I'm not a darn fool, we waltzed out with a righteous bag of deliciousness. Not too shabby for only two minutes of shopping. Mommy was happy. Boys were happy. Everybody was happy.
Next, nap #2. AND whilst I was napping, Calvin cleaned the living room. Say it with me,
"WHAT???? HUH?????? Your newly minted 5 year old will clean up WITHOUT BEING ASKED. Read it and weep. My baby is not only thoughtful, but hard-working."
SIMPLE PLEASURES.
And Lastly, Noah got off early!!!!!. He was just in time for cardboard pizza and small talk before bed.
Bliss. Pure bliss.

you're funny. and beautiful! look at that hair! AND i can't even tell that you are pregnant in that picture. you must carry it well. can't wait to see the little baby face. hope you salted your pizza.
hehe, I wondered how long you had to wait back there, why didn't they just leave you in the waiting room with me? I waited a whole 'nuther hour and a half in sheer boredom!
From one Jungle Girl to another: I un-dilated while I was in labor! I was at a 5, got the epidural and was suddenly back to a 3! The midwife said she had never seen anything like it. I told her Jungle Girls like to do things their own strange way!
And also, I'm craving Snickers now! Luckily, I have some.
I'm glad you had a good day!
