The neverending story | 11 décembre 2008

Haven't really been in the mood for updating lately, maybe its the cold outside, the days that seem to get longer since all I can do is wait or the fact that my computer broke down for a few days? Thankfully Pan came to the rescue (as he always does) and the little routine I had establised these last few months is back on track. (what would we do without computers?).

There are two weeks left of the confinement (now Im talking like the taliban have locked me up like a proper Afghan wife) - 2 weeks that is until babylicious is allowed to come into the world safely and all ready for the real adventure to begin- but it could just as well become 5 more weeks if it decides to play it "primadonna -style". Well with a mom like that, who is not really known for good timing it could happen. Lets hope the daddy-effect counters it.

So what have I done? Besides the endless paperwork that always has to be filled out before the birth, during pregnancy as well as the birth plan and after-birth arrangements, Ive kept myself quite busy:

-I knitted 3 items (one too big and one too small, hopefully one left that fits)
-I've made sure we can see our favourite programs (Its always sunny in Philadelphia, The Mentalist, SVU, Desperate housewives, How I met your mother, Gossip girl, Fringe, Pushing daisies and Grey's anatomy (just for me to cry out a bit) and lately Eli Stone) and I can tell you that is almost a full time job! But its so much more interesting than the things that are on Tv.
- Read a few books, Obama, Fred Vargas, Tales of an economic hitman, the kite runner, Still haven't finished Robert Fisk's "The great war for Civilasation" and now got such an interesting book from Pan in my Advent calendar called the Kabul Beauty school (real story of an american beautician who goes to Afghanistan to help women help themselves)
- made christmas decorations and cookies
-in the process of making well wishing cards
-been better in being in contact with friends and family
-drunken so many chocolats liegois downstairs with friends
-Made plenty of lists of baby things to buy and do - that Pan is no doubt thrilled about
- Gone to midwife preperation classes that scared me but tought me how to breath correctly
- cought a cold and a soar throat - Im especially proud of that one, dont know how that happened since Im almost always at home.
- Spent countless hours on the internet reading celebrity gossip (because Im totally off world news, so weird) or writing useless comments on Facebook.

These have been the last 4 months, I just dont understand how I could spend all that time working before.

But without support from our friends, our families and my special one , it would have been so much harder than it was.

Now Im ready. Lets be the 23rd soon. Oh and Im also looking forward to christmas...could there be a christmas spirit hiding there somewhere underneath? Every child needs magical christmases - I will do my best to honour that in the next 20 years at least.
