Random Moments- baby come now edition!

All of our company has left us and I only have 6 more days until my official due date. Of course this date means nothing, but a girl can allow herself a false set of hope, can't she? Who knows, maybe number 4 will be the baby who comes early. I'm to the point where nothing completely covers my still growing belly, I want to eat ALL of the time (I refuse to believe that these first two are connected), and I think my legs have finally given out on me. Basically, I'm a beast. I can, however, still shave my legs in the shower, and for that I am extremely grateful.

Despite sounding like I am giving up on life, we are all very excited. The kids and I have settled on a name, we just have to get Andrew on-board. So now we are onto the waiting game, which gives me some time to blog...lucky you!

Belly and Boots

The picture above shows things from my view these days. You can also see the boots that I recently purchased. I spent a long time trying to find shoes which were comfortable, yet stylish. I came home quite pleased with my selection, only to have Andrew tell me that they "look like something straight out of Star Wars". Talk about knocking the wind out of my sails.

Incidentally, Andrew said that same thing last year when he saw the boots on the man shown in the picture below. Yes, that is a man (remember this is Europe- nothing can be assumed about his sexuality). Yes, I felt compelled to take his picture. And yes, I wish my bum looked that good.

Tokens of Love
Onto more wasteful shopping... I've had it in my head for 8 years now that it would be really romantic if Andrew were to surprise me with some "token" of appreciation for birthing each of his children. And by token, I mean jewelry. My subtle hints have gone unheeded in the past, so this time I decided to take matters into my own hands and just buy something for him to give to me. I know, if only every man were to be so lucky....

I settled on a pandora bracelet and bought the bracelet part for a reasonable price while we were traveling. What I didn't take into account was the cost of filling the dumb bracelet with charms. It is supposed to look like this...

And yet, after stomaching the cost to buy a single charm at the Swiss cost I think my bracelet will remain like this for a long, long, time. So much for my big, materialistic ideas.

WARNING
A couple of weeks ago I set up the bassinet where the baby will be sleeping for the first 3 months. This is the same bassinet that Afton slept in, and I really liked it. However, this time I noticed that the entire contraption is covered with "WARNINGS!" pretty much saying that my child should never sleep in the thing. This is supposed to be a bassinet- I'm so confused!

That's it for now. I should talk about the kids and Andrew, but let's face it, with my "condition" it is all about me and the baby- at least for today.
