Stork'd This is what happens if you go Skinny Dipping during Adult Swim at the Gene Pool.

I finally got the guest bedroom situated the way that I want it, and the final steps are to get the box of old girl baby clothes and my filing box downstairs, vacuum the floor, and buy a blanket for the bed (it has sheets).

I've been really irritated that I can't do too much. If I do a lot of activity I start having contractions. I'm not willing to give birth before Feb 27th at the earliest. My dad will be here by then to help take care of Ingrid.

With less than a month to go before our newest arrival makes his debut, the wild speculations in the household have been flying. My wife and I decided to put our money where our mouths were and post them online to see who gets the most victory points come D-Day. What the winner of our running bet will get is still up for debate, but the gauntlet is definitely thrown down.

Our Prediction Categories:

1. Date our child is born
2. Time of day our child is born
3. Number of hours in labor
4. How much he weighs
5. Hair color
6. Eye Color
7. Eyebrows (Daddy's or Mommy's)
8. Torso Length
9. Whether Mom gets pooped on in the delivery room (Ingrid set the benchmark)

This morning I went on a recon mission. I have been looking for inexpensive bed options. I popped over to Ollie's and found a twin set and a twin matress. Two beds for 450 is not so bad. The mattress only I will be putting on Ingrid's bed so that she has a filled frame, once I can get to the store to get some twin sheets. Of course, right now, we have several inches of snow on the ground and it was so slick coming back from breakfast this morning when it started dumping snow on us, that we almost ended up on the plant median turning into the housing development.It's all of about 18 degrees out there and the snow is pure powder. If we were on a hill and snowboard worthy it might be fun.

Ingrid really wanted to play in it, but I really can't risk falling right now with my bum leg and the 8 month pregnant belly, so I couldn't take her out. Peter's been busy taking care of us inside.I think she's going to be very happy with her new bed once it gets situated upstairs.

I have had really bad back pain all last night and this morning on account of my hips being out of alignment. After breakfast I came into the house, it was almost noon, and went straight upstairs, took some tylenol, put the massager on my back, and got a little nap. I wish I was with my Reiki peeps so as to get hot Reiki hands all over me.
