Today, I got my 40-weeks email with tips on biding time until the baby arrives. I've been hoping that making lots of plans that I would have to cancel for her arrival would speed things up. No luck; Cutie doesn't seem to be in any hurry at all. (okay, this is bad; I just typed "Precious," and I had to replace it with "Cutie." I'm already getting their blog nicknames mixed up.)
How about this for biding my time? I went ice skating today. Mimi and Poppy wanted to take the older cousins during this visit. Mimi was going to attach some traction-things to her shoes to go out with the kids, but there was a no-shoe policy at the rink. Since I had been on ice skates more than the other adults in our group, I volunteered to be the one who went around the edge with the kids.
I enjoyed my one lap with Precious, and Cousin Za was like a pro, almost from the beginning! Cousin Zo kept pointing at him and saying his name; she knew her brother was The Stuff!
When Precious and I stopped in the hockey bleachers to take a small break, the head skater came up to me and asked me if I was pregnant. I didn't dare tell him today was my due date. Then, I was very nicely asked to get off the ice. I gave my skate rental to Aunt Mo, and she did another round with Precious, and some with Cousin E.
So much for trying to ice skate at 40 weeks pregnant! At least I got away with it when I was 16 weeks pregnant with Precious, before I was showing ;).
