Waiting for Baby

    Two more days until Dave comes home from Victoria and it looks like I'm in the clear in regards to the baby arriving while he's away.  I technically have a week and a half left until my due date but since Lily was born at 38weeks I was planning (Read: Hoping) that baby #3 would follow suit and be here crying and pooping by now.  We didn't find out the gender but right now I'm pretty sure it's a boy because it seems lazy and in no rush to come out anytime soon (my son was born at 41weeks and only then because the doctors had to induce me).  Great.  Not only will I probably be overdue but I'll have a son who is 30years old and still living in my basement.  Luckily you can induce your adult kids out of the nest by cutting the cable and the internet or changing the locks when they go out-a mistake my parent's made was not changing the locks when I left and not getting my key.  I came back and in bigger numbers.
     Since my labor "scare" at 36weeks (read: I peed myself and thought my water broke) my family and I have been on standby with the expectation that this could happen at anytime.  This mentality is hard for someone who is as lazy as I am since it means I have to make sure every night I am ready.  Usually I will leave a few dishes or laundry or a mess for the next day's adventure (my life isn't that exciting I want to stretch out the fun for the next day..).  However right now I don't want to go in labor and have to worry about scrubbing my toilets before heading to the hospital or leaving for a few days and have Lily's diaper genie marinating in the sun for when I get back.  I just know that I will go into labor as soon as I run out of groceries, toilet paper and toothpaste.  I want to be somewhat prepared domestically since we've done NOTHING to get ready for baby #3.
   Yes you heard me correctly, we have done NOTHING.  I guess there are a few things we have done-we have our Phil and Ted Stroller bought, however we don't have the second seat yet (it's on hold at the store).  My mom bought us a pack of newborn diapers so baby #3 won't be pooping on the patio, but that's it.  Lily's carseat and bassinet are in storage so it's a matter of just dragging it out.  BTW when I say storage I mean my parent's crawl space.  I have a long history of not compensating them for storing my stuff and I hope they don't watch too much Storage Wars and get any crazy ideas.  Last thing I need is having to barter with Barry or Darren to get my boxes of random junk back.  I mentally have a list of things I should have or set up but I haven't been in the mood.  I just figure I can pop into Superstore to get the supplies after baby is here, how hard could it be with two kids?
   Lily hasn't gotten the memo in regards to getting ready for the baby's arrival.  She has been ramping up her efforts to be a brat the last week and a half.  She decided that this week is the week she's going to get all her teeth including a possible molar.  I just want to snooze on the couch or sleep through the night and she just wants to scream at me because as you know being the worst mom on the planet it's my fault she's getting teeth.  She's had over a year to get those things...  She has also been learning how to walk and is currently on the move and getting INTO everything. I will go to the bathroom and when I come out there will be a mass trail of destruction.  It always follows the same path-the CD ROM open, Dave's magazine on his nightstand ripped and torn, books pulled off the bookshelf and ends in our on suite bathroom with the toilet brush being used as a hairbrush and Lily sucking on a shampoo bottle.  Lily is also restless because she hasn't been on any playdates the last week and a half-not her fault, more of my lazy butt-and she's tired of having to play with the grumpy pregnant lady.
   So we have at the max 3 more weeks give or take until baby is here and hopefully we can co-ordinate everyone (and my husband be in town) when the time comes.  Waiting is the hardest especially for labor since even after 2 kids I still don't really have confidence that I will know when I actually go into labor. 

Soon, very soon
