sweatpants, hair tied, chillin’ with no makeup on.

i went to visit a coworker today, who gave birth prematurely in november. her little one was okay, just tiny, so she spent some time in the nicu. she's doing well, and they've been home since before christmas. i wanted to let steph get settled in to "real life" with the baby before i went to visit, then the weather was cruddy, so today was finally the day. celena was 4lbs 11oz and 17" long when she was born. she is now 9lbs and 21" long. it blows my mind that my baby might be that size when it comes out of me! i held her while she was awake, then again as she slept after steph nursed her, and it was just the cutest thing. i can't wait until that's my life. i mean, it's terrifying, but it's also so exciting.
our crib is here, as is the mattress. the glider is en route. i'm just waiting on a coupon code so i can order our dresser. then that's all the big stuff taken care of. nothing is assembled yet, and won't be for another month, because we want to paint the nursery before we bother unboxing anything. it's nice to know it's here tho, and things are running more or less according to schedule.
i went shopping with my mom last weekend, and while i didn't get as much as i'd hoped for the baby, it feels so good to have a bunch of clothes that fit properly and make me feel cute. yes, 90% of my time is spent in scrubs or just schlubbing around the house, but it's so nice to have a couple of go-to outfits to wear out that make me feel cute as shit. and bras! i bought 4 bras, and now my giant boobs fit properly into my underthings, and i feel like a decent person again.
i have an appontment with my nurse practitioner tomorrow, and it should be my last with her. i'm sort of surprised that i haven't heard from the ob group for an appointment with them yet, but i'll ask my nurse tomorrow and hopefully get it sorted out. i'm interested to see what her scale says, but according to mine i'm up 5 lbs since the start of pregnancy, which puts me at a weight i've been before when i was a little heavier, but i can't believe how differently my body is shaped. there is no denying a baby bump now!
work is work, with me trying to get as many hours in as i can before i go off on maternity leave. i really should go talk to hr soon about when i'd like to start my leave, how many hours will count toward my top-up pay, etc, but i've sort of putting it off until my first ob appt. hopefully that will be in the next couple of weeks and i'll go do the boring paperwork junk then.

I remember the excitement I felt every time we had a few more things purchased and ready for baby. Gah, I'm so excited for you! You get a year off for maternity leave because you're in Canada, right?

I demand a picture of the bump!

I can't wait for that life either. Not much longer for either of us and it will be our sweet little babies in our arms!

What colors are you painting the nursery? We got our crib in a while back. I can't wait until we have our house and can put it up and get the baby's room all set up!!

do you use instagram? i post the occasional bump pic on there. i will post one here tho, just for you. maybe i'll get josh to take one, selfies only do so much.

we're doing the nursery in grey and yellow. the furniture is a mix of dark and white. my mom has offered to paint for me, but she can't until march, so we will have all this furniture sittting in boxes, just torturing me, but there's no point in putting everything together just to have to move it around to paint.

Of I love the way that sounds! Once the nursery is set up I must see pictures!!

I don't use Instagram. Do you post anything on Facebook?

josh and i are going out for our anniversary tonight - i'll snap a pic for you.

yay! How exciting! I was SO BIG during the end of my pregnancy. My tummy arrived in the room before I did.

How fantastic of you to get a year maternity leave. Yay Canada!

Do you know the sex of baby bean?

we chose not to find out the sex, we prefer the mystery.

RYC: Well they told me, after they screwed up and I got a phone call from a specialist before I even knew what the test results were. I need to have another LEEP to remove the cells
