I'm here, might as well say something

Busy day yesterday -- up early to make breakfast for friends who came over at 9:30. Talked too long on the phone to my parents, fell behind on Big Plans for Relaxing Breakfast. Got tense. Breakfast came off well, though, if a bit late. Friends left, we left, went to hospital for 5-hour class on Infant Care. Could have been 3-1/2 hours and we would have gotten by. Not a bad class, though. Just long.

Came home. Left again for dinner. Came home again. Ice cream. Tried to watch "Sexy Beast," bored nearly to tears. Gave up. Went to bed at 9:15. Woke up about 1:00. Thirsty. Itchy. Hot. Itchy. Hot. Thirsty. Indigestion. Got up to pee. Took Tums. Drank water. Still itchy. Still hot. Came downstairs. Cuddled with kitty. That brings us to just about now. Still itchy. Still hot. Tired. Want to sleep.

Aren't you glad I posted something?

Update

Of sorts. I haven't posted this in a while, so here it is:
 

I'm feeling pretty well. No signs of labor yet. No "nesting" at the moment, though I'd sure like that! Been lazy today, sleeping a lot; really the opposite of nesting, or so I hear.

We had the baby-care class yesterday, which covered topics like bathing and diapering, and revealed the mystery of swaddling. Turns out there's no mystery to it, it's just a snug blanket. Yet I've seen people do it so wrong, I wonder how I'll screw it up when the time comes. We also talked about the umbilical stump. I'm quite intimidated by that thing. Hope I can handle it.

I've written up the birth plan, and we've started to pack the bag for the hospital. We're getting there. My appetite isn't very good today, which I at first hoped was a sign of early labor, but I think it's just a sign of hot weather. Anyone want to place their bets on when this baby will arrive?
