I have a cold. This sucks big time. I just took the world's longest shower, which helped me breathe a bit.
It was a better shower than the one I had yesterday, because I was fully undressed for it. Ryan and I hit some garage sales yesterday morning, and when I got home I decided to take a shower to cool off a bit. An excellent plan, although it would have gone better if I hadn't discovered that I was still wearing my underpants in the shower.
In my defense, it's not like I can see whether or not I'm wearing underpants at any given moment.
So I got my underwear off in the shower. It rolled up and got all twisted, and I was trying not to slip and fall or have it get stuck around my knees. It would have made a great YouTube video.
I was well-behaved during the garage sale outing. I'm managing to hold off the baby-stuff-buying impulse. He'll have everything he needs when he first gets here, and then we'll try to figure out what he actually needs after that. I got a scary catalog in the mail from Babies R Consumers that freaked me out a bit, because I don't even know what some of that stuff is for. I have to keep reminding myself that Target and Costco aren't going out of business the minute the baby is born, and there is this magic thing called that internet that I can use to get things brought to me by the nice UPS man. It's ok to wait and see what we really need.
It helps that Nathan is kindly outgrowing all of his early babyhood stuff, so we'll borrow his baby bucket car seat and its stroller and BabyCrack™ cradle swing and little footie jammies to start with. The Mighty Nathan has moved on to way more exciting things, like crawling and standing and eating food, so he doesn't need some silly-ass swing anymore.
Dennis just returned from the store with extra-soft kleenex and sorbet pops for the sick preggo, because he rocks.
