- I'm 2cm dilated.
- I'm 50% effaced.
- I'm measuring perfectly for 38 weeks.
- Baby Pingel is happy where he is... for now.
I'll be sure to keep you all updated as the next two weeks progress. Of course, I want him to come ASAP, but I also have a long list of things I want/need to get done before that happens. Nesting is such a funny feeling -- a desperate desire to get everything/anything done before baby comes, mixed with a body that is unnaturally tired and awkward/painful to maneuver. Sounds fun, now, doesn't it?
However, I guess I have done a few productive things over the past week, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Daily walks with Adam (exercise PLUS couple time!)
- Got my Flu Shot (but not the H1N1... I'm not sure I will...)
- Sleeping through the night with fewer potty breaks (YES!!)
- Craft: My lovely Fall wreath (as shown in an earlier post)
- Craft: A "FALL" wall hanging (as shown in an earlier post)
- A fun pizza-and-movie date w/Adam on Saturday Night (We watched Monsters v. Aliens)
- Washed & Vacuumed "Ruby," our Chevy Blazer
- Painted our ugly mail basket a lovely dark brown
- Made homemade chicken noodle soup & rolls for our H1N1-sick friends
- And, my personal favorite... This cute P monogram for the living room wall:
Next on the list of distracting activities...
- Bake pumpkin bread (hopefully tonight! **Post-edit** DONE!)
- Bake banana bread
- Bake zucchini bread
- Sew car seat cover for Baby Pingel (keep out the cold!)
- Make cute burp cloths
- Sew THESE cute baby hats
- Visit the Madison Library (books on childbirth, perhaps?)
- Paint my toenails (if I can reach them... yeah, I'm serious.)
- Manage to make meals for my BUSY, BUSY husband...
- Clean the house for this Saturday's Baby Shower -- courtesy of Em and Alex!
Sounds like a fun life, eh? Add to that the usual dishes and laundry (and a few moving-in projects that I STILL have left to do!)... and Baby Pingel (Jack, we think!) will be here in no time!
Next appointment is 10:50 this coming Monday. Stay tuned!

you busy lady you. You are such a homemaker I love it. I am so glad baby is doing so well.
It's soo true what you said about nesting. I can't seem to turn my brain off when it comes to thinking about everything I want to have done before our baby gets here, but I only have energy in 1/2 hour spurts, so I really haven't gotten that much done. Unlike you, however, I kinda hope our little one is late, maybe then I actually stand a chance of getting things finished up. Good Luck, I'm sure baby P will be here before we know it:)
