I should admit now that while I’m completely familiar with NaBloPoMo, I did not participate this year. Mainly because I am hoping to have a baby sometime in this month, and that will trump all priorities, even one as important as blogging.

(Our hospital, however, does have wifi access, so I make no guarantees that I will not blog in between contractions.)

At the same time, I want to write something each day, so I can look back later and say, “Yeah, November was really (insert adjective here).” I know that there will be the obviously monotonous posts (”still pregnant.. still hate it”), and probably posts that don’t make any sense (”I ate a baconator with extra cheese”.. seriously, what was I thinking?), but still. I feel it’s important to write down every day until that water hits the floor.

The boys are off to a basketball scrimage. I HATE that I’m missing basketball. That’s my favorite sport that he plays. It’s so fast-moving, and you really never know how the game will move, and it’s just FUN. But I went grocery shopping today, and I could probably take a three-hour nap just from the endeavor that is Kroger on a Sunday morning. Basketball typically lasts until February, though, so I’ll catch up as soon as I drop Tony off.

(TMI WARNING) Speaking of the demon spawn that is my child, I just have to say that I am so tired of feeling like I’ve wet my pants ALL THE TIME. Yes, I read about the “snail trail”, but DAYUM, I was not ready for the massive amounts of trickling fluid. And yes, I know that I can wear panty-liners (and I do), but still. STILL. Ech.

Next weekend is the OHSHIT weekend, where I am “for real” gonna do last-minute stuff before the baby gets here. By next weekend, we’ll have had all of our showers, so we can go pick up whatever we didn’t get. (I’m thinking a car seat might not be a bad investment at this point.) I’m also packing a bag for the hospital. I’m also creating a phone tree. (Speaking of, there will be some sort of notification when the time comes on this site, so don’t fret. You’re still involved.) I’m also charging up batteries for cameras, phones, and laptops. And I might have a baconator or two in there.
