waiting for baby.

hi. i never update this thing. i think it speaks to my incredible boredom that i'm updating now. i have had two weeks at home since leaving work on maternity leave. i thought i would have a baby by now, but she's apparently shy or just very comfortable in there, because she had not yet decided to emerge and join us in life outside my uterus. i'm due tomorrow. and anxious to get this show on the road already!

oh yes, she is a she, a girl baby. she has a pink stroller and many pink things in her room, which is very cute, by the way. she has an ipod dock so we can play her music. regular music, not baby music--ugh. and a sheep mobile. and alice in wonderland prints on the wall. very, very cute. 

i know i should be enjoying this time. when else will i be able to watch again the entire first season of the o.c. while asking scott to fetch me beverages? but my days are punctuated with phone calls--many, many phone calls--and text messages. and questions like "did you have a baby yet?" or "anything happening?" i'm excited that my friends are excited, but it's so frustrating when i have no news!

hopefully soon there will be news. i want to see what she looks like. and introduce her to her future best friends, bunny and lionel. i want to get past the unpleasantness of birth and uncertainty of caring for a newborn and get to the good part of having a routine and making her laugh and dressing her up in death cab onesies.
