Oh, and...
...no progression babywise. According to the doc I'm still only 1 cm dilated, if even, and have not yet begun to efface. He listened to the heart and said, "You have a happy baby in there." Yeah, so happy that she's going to stay forever. If I make it to my next appointment, which will be 40 weeks 1 day, they will do a nonstress test and schedule an induction for week 41. The positive is that the central air will be installed by then. The negative is that I will likely be going to work for at least part of next week.

So even though the nursery is still only a yellow room with nothing in it but a lamp and a rug (because the furniture is DELAYED until the END of the MONTH, and why the manufacturer couldn't IMPORT PARTS ten WEEKS ago is not a question even worth ASKING), we're starting to prepare in earnest. The bassinet is ready to use. The carseat bases are in. The diaper stacker is filled with newborn Pampers. The changing pad is covered in pink terrycloth and ready to take up residence on the dining room table. The Boppy is out of its packaging and the bouncy seat and swing are assembled. I'd say we're about 75% ready from a practical standpoint, and about 9% from a mental one.

Yeah totally! I just said that after your first baby your birth canal becomes like Water Country. Sorry, that really didn't bear repeating in print.
