Busy and Bored

How can someone be busy and bored at the same time? I was not even this bored when I was on bedrest... of course this will all change in a few weeks I am sure! The past week or so has been pretty full. My 22 week pregnant sister had to have a huge cyst removed from her fallopian tube (they actually had to remove the tube as well). Her dr. said that they removed 8-9 litres of fluid. What with the removal of the cyst and recovering from surgery she is down almost 30 pounds! So I have been trying to spend some time with her as she recovers. It seems that nobody in our family can have uneventful pregnancies...

I have still been working on the baby room, and loving it. Even though there are still the nagging fears in the back of my mind, I am getting excited about meeting Dorothy (and having labor and delivery behind me!). My appointment yesterday was good. No ultrasound, and I got my last progesterone shot. I was also able to talk to dr. F about whether or not he normally does deliveries and he said he does. He will be gone next week, but other than that he said he should be around, and it is written in my chart for them to call him when I go into labor. 12 more days and my stitch comes out. This is really starting to get real, and as bored as I am (more anxious for her to get here) the days are going fast. These last days before parenthood. I promised some pictures of my belly. These were taken last week at 34w 3d, but here they are....





You may think I am crazy for this one, but we got a kitten last night. He is really cute... black with white paws and a white face with a little black patch on his chin. We are having a hard time naming him, so any suggestions are welcome. We were going to wait until about a month after the baby comes to get him, but my friends that gave him to us are moving soon and couldn't keep him as long as they originally thought. He cried ALLLL the way home. Last night we kept our room shut (until we are sure he knows where the litterbox is) and every time I got up to pee (3 times) he woke up and started whining. I think within a few days he will adjust pretty well, though. He doesn't seem to be too hungry for the dry food, but he gobbled the wet stuff I gave him this morning. He has definitely found his perch snuggled in the pillows at the end of the couch. I think he's just confused as to where his mama and the rest of the litter are at. He's about 7 weeks old, so he's still pretty little, but he's box trained and pretty much weaned already and he was the biggest of the bunch with a tight little belly. I'm pretty excited to have something to do (try to train him in some areas) in the next couple weeks. He seems like he'll be a nice little kitty in all... just gotta trim those claws!
