Pregnancy
I can't wait to meet my little boy! I'll be 33 weeks on Monday, and the whole nesting instinct has hit full blast. Though I need to study for my NCE, what's on the forefront of my mind is getting ready for a newborn. Study statistics and t scores, percentiles, and construct validity, or wash baby bottles, launder old toys and set up lala's old swing? That's been the battle of my mind recently. Poor Chaco - he's been thinking about and immersed in the beatitudes, what Jesus means when he says "blessed are the poor, woe are the rich" (in Luke, different than "blessed are the poor in spirit" in Matthew) - and all his wife can think about test this and baby that.
But, back to my first sentence. I can't wait to meet Babe E! The other day, Lala laid her head on Chaco's shoulder, with this ultra content look on her face. I rested my head on his other shoulder and said to him, "Oh no! What's gonna happen when Babe E arrives, you won't have any shoulders left for me." (Yes, feel free to gag and choke here. Whatever, i can say whatever gushy things I want :). Chaco said, "You'll have Babe E. And when he's a teenager, you'll have your choice of mine or his to lean on."
He's been moving like a crazy baby these days. My belly moves and contorts like there's a baby shamu performing his stunts inside of me. Makes me wonder what he'll be like "in real life", cause I think he's kinda wild and crazy already.
Lala says the weirdest things these days. Every night, right before she goes to sleep, she'll say "Mommy (or Daddy, if he's in the room with her), Go home." And she'll point at the ceiling. One time I said, "We are home." She replied, "No, go home" while pointing at the ceiling again. I asked, "Are you pointing at Lala's room?" She said, "No, up there". Hello - is that kind of freaky? She said it to Chaco last night, and he asked her, "What's up there?" She replied, "Circle". He said, "Oh, earth?" thinking that it was because he took her to see Wall-E last week. Lala said, "Yah, earth."
