walbournIt seems we've hit "Baby Def Con 2". While![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cuddlyeconomist's gestational diabetes has been very well controlled with diet, we had an additional ultrasound done today most of the way through the 37th week. The baby's estimated weight is around 8#, which is a little high for this stage. Since DrB does not want a Cesarean, that probably means inducing sooner than the 40th week. We won't know until Monday, but no matter how you look at it: we's having a baby soon!
DrB's been 'nesting' for a while making black-out curtains for the bedrooms. When we got back from the doctor today, we finished up the last few details of setting up the co-sleeper. The kid's room is a bit tight, but Rhys spends almost all his time with us in the living room or outside the house anyhow. The house is pretty much ready, and once we install the car-seat mounts we'll be pretty much there.
Rhys has been very fussy since he got back from the 4th of July weekend with his dad. DrB thinks he's just regressing a bit which is pretty normal for kids with siblings on the way. It has, however, been somewhat irksome. Just because he's reading on the 11th grade level at age 8 does not mean we want to deal with him acting like a teenager all day. That said, since the wedding he's been more comfortable being physical with me... stuff like sitting on my lap and laying on me when watching TV. Since DrB's lap is currently AWOL, that's a good thing. He's been enjoying his summer camps, and seems to be doing pretty well overall. The whole house is just a bit on edge about what's happening next...
This weekend is a birthday party for DrB, then Harry Potter 7.2 Sunday at the Pacific Science Center IMAX. DrB wants a "Harry Potter" theme birthday party, but we've run into a few obstacles. The first is she is thirty-seven week pregnant so she's not going to be doing much in the way of 'throwing a party'. We planned a few dishes, but are hoping that the 'potluck' idea works out and folks bring some tasty food. I'm even making the cake--which in the past she's made for herself. Second, even with the the last movie coming this week there is actually a dearth of Harry Potter stuff at the stores. I remember a few years back the places were awash in Harry Potter crap, but you can't find Harry Potter wrapping-paper at this point and even Barnes & Noble had a meager selection. I guess it's because all the kids who were hooked on the first movie are now the prime age for Lego and that's about it.
On the plus side, at least it's back to just being a really good book series and not a merchandising juggernaut. On the downside, it made finding HP-bling for the party pretty rough. The most I could find was a few sticker books and of course... Legos :>
