last friday, it was (i think) the 8th rainiest day since 1888 in Chicago. We got 4 inches of rain (at least). not surprisingly, the basement took on water. i do not fault it, as it was SO RAINY. the water did get some of our stuff wet, but mainly just bottoms of boxes. About 6 or so boxes got wet. The stuff inside them was fine. The thing about cardboard is once it gets wet, it loses all its structural integrity, even if it dries. so we got the stuff out of them (some of the were empty), and ben put them out for the recycling today. a couple of minutes ago, a neighbor drove up and helped herself to the boxes. not that i care, though she’s going to be surprised when she goes to use them!
ben’s grandma is obsessed with reality tv. okay. i don’t know that for a fact, but that is the word on the street. and is supported by her starting grandma’s reality tv blog. for reals.
i have not obsessed about my weight during this pregnancy. but now i am obsessing about the weight of the baby. though my ob told me that second babies are bigger then first due to the lack of have to stretch the uterus anew, i was still surprised with the ob i saw this past week used the highly accurate technique of feeling the baby through my stomach and telling me that he was average – around 7 lbs at 36.5 wks. aiden was a little small (just under 7 at 38 wks). i left swearing off sugar (at 9:06 from my 9:00 appt. this ob’s office is much better b/c he doesn’t do a lot of ob care (mainly old lady care), but is on the call rotation for birthing babies, and i like him, so i saw him when my usual ob was out of town. ben has towarted my effort today as he brough home dunkin donuts munkins and then planned for us all to go to the local ice cream parlor after dinner (his turn to cook) . how could i argue except to accuse him of trying to make this baby 9 lbs. to which he responded, so what if he is 9 lbs? what’s the difference? i said i don’t want to push out a 9 lb baby. to which he replied (basically) how can it hurt more than the last time?
men.
