Welpers, it’s the weekend again, and I’ve done a very poor job at keeping this site updated, haven’t I? To re-cap what’s been going on during this week: absolutely nothing. Heh. I did a whole lot of being achy, cleaning, working (on reports), a doctor’s visit, feeling Bean tumbling and rumbling inside my uterus, talking and hanging out with Dave, playing with Tink, revelling in the baby’s room. Rewind, repeat. It feels good not to have to go to work everyday, and wake up and sleep whenever I want to. Other people are doing things for their summer vacation, like making a Las Vegas travel or going to Australia (my SIL!). Me? I’m here waiting for a baby to be born. I’m 38 weeks along today, which means Baby Bean can come any minute now. I have absolutely no feeling regarding whether or not I think she’s gonna come early or late. I had thought she was going to come late (after July 12), but symptoms suggest otherwise right now (increased pelvic pressure pain, her head has already dropped down to my pelvic area, a couple of false contractions, my back hurting like a b*tch, more tiredness, etc.). So I don’t know. I will plead the 5th on what my gut feeling is. Dave thinks she’s going to come July 23. Seems like such a long way from now. Other people think she’s going to come this weekend. Realistically, the only one who knows when she’s going to make her debut is her. And maybe the Universe. But other than that, it’s completely random. We’re just sitting around playing the waiting game now.
I’m already getting several people email me, or call me up, asking, “Is the baby there yet?!!” Well, no, ya silly dorks!! With me being so hypervigilant with keeping baby news updated everywhere, do you think I’d have kept it from the internet world if Baby Bean has arrived? Of course not! You’d better believe that there will be at least 300 photos posted all over the place within the first 24 hours (okay, maybe not, but you get the idea). Heh.
I’ve been a little more grumpy than usual too. I believe it’s because of the physical achiness that comes with being so far along in the pregnancy. I’m trying to hold it together, but the other day, while watching Joy Luck Club with Dave (it happened to be on tv, and it’s one of my favorite movies), I ended up sobbing throughout it. It was kinda silly. It’s a sad movie to begin with, but dude, I was SOBBING. Dave came by and laughed at me and held me and said I was so cute and beautiful, and kissed my tears. And I sobbed even harder. And then the other night my back was hurting so badly, nothing I could do could’ve relieved it. No laying down position made it better, no side position made it better, no standing or sitting position made it better. I was so frustrated, I started crying. Talk about hormonal.
So, I now leave you with another little survey. I’m the self-declared survey queen.
THE SIGNIFICANT OTHER SURVEY
Just Basic Stuff:
Are you single?
No.
For how long?
I haven’t been single for approximately 10 years now.
Who should make the first move?

Very much so right now.
Ever have your heart broken?
Yes. A couple of times.

Errm… until it’s discussed, I suppose. Maybe like, 5 or 6? I don’t know.
How many dates until the first kiss?
I kissed Dave on the first date, but we’ve known each other for 2 years prior to that.
How many dates until you go further?
Erm. It depends on the person, the chemistry, etc. I don’t have a set rule.
How long was your longest relationship?

Do you fight because of jealousy?
Nope. We never fought over jealousy. Weird, huh?
Do you stilll see your friends as much as when you are/were single?

Dave likes my family. He sometimes doesn’t understand the culture, but he tries his best.
How about friends?
He likes all my friends. I make awesome friends.
Does it matter what they think about your friends or family?

Ah another lovely weekend is here! This past week has been hectic. I stopped working (physically, though I’m still doing paperwork at home) and had my last day at work in Bellingham. Now I’m staying put on the north side of the border until Bean is born… which could technically be any day now since I am now considered “full term.” Wow. I can’t believe we’re already here.
Today will be spent cleaning the house up and finishing Bean’s room. We’re almost all good to go. I’ll take pictures and show everyone once it’s done. All her furniture is black, and her walls are light green. It looks rather snazzy, if I do say so myself. We’ve got origami butterflies decorated all over her walls, and Dave painted a cute little mural on the main side of the room, of an elephant holding a paint brush. Hehe.
This next week will be spent relaxing a lot, and staying off my feet, so I’m trying to get as many chores done and the house as clean as possible in order to accommodate my relaxation. I can’t relax when the house isn’t clean. I’m neurotic that way. Or I’m nesting. Maybe both. I have high hopes of cleaning the bathroom today (not much to do — just the bathtub and toilet), and a bit of laundry. And vacuuming and dusting. Not too bad. By the time the day is done, I can put my feet up and work on paperwork on the laptop in front of the television. I want to get all my paperwork done before Bean is due because I know the last thing I will want to do when the baby is born is work. If memory serves me right, every mother I have talked to has told me that when the baby is born, your whole world will revolve around that little bundle and nothing else matters. Not work, not deadlines, not appointments. Everything else fades into the background. I’m looking forward to it. I seem to already be halfway there.

Well, yesterday was a good “day from hell” if I’ve ever experienced any (and I have!). In full preparation for the full moon (is that today, or was it yesterday?), it proved to be quite the stressful day for our family. First, a minor car accident for yours truly to deal with (no one was hurt, but now I have to deal with the nuisance of getting my car fixed up and prettified again). Then, when I thought I made it safely home in one piece and I can hide from the rest of the world for the rest of the day, Murphy’s Law dictated that of course, two people needed to be sent to the hospital, one in an ambulance, and the other through the emergency room. I was the one who went through the emergency room.
Before you get too worried, everyone’s fine. It was just a very stressful day. I was having some really severe pelvic pains and I called the maternity ward to ask about it. They wanted me to come in to get assessed, and I had to go through the emergency entrance because it was 11pm at night last night when we checked ourselves in. After being hooked up for about an hour, listening to Bean’s steady heartbeat and feeling her active movements, the doc sent us home with the clear common diagnosis of “round ligament pains.” Apparently, my pelvis area is stretching and my hips are separating. Yes, it is as painful as it sounds.
As for the ambulance incident, I’m keeping that one a little close to my heart. It was Gran, and she gave us a good scare. She’s still at the hospital, and I’m glad she’s getting cared for by professionals because I sure didn’t know what the hell I was doing yesterday that was of any help to her. Talk about pregnant-lady-panic.
Today is proving to be much better than yesterday, with an early phone call from Healthcare Canada saying they are going to extend my medical coverage to accommodate for the delivery of our beautiful Baby Bean when the time comes. That is SUCH a huge weight off my shoulders, you have no idea.
Now I have to deal with a couple of other things before I can officially be emotionally on my maternity leave. Little stresses I can handle, but a day like yesterday — never again, please. A day like yesterday puts everything into perspective. You hold onto those you love with dear life because you never know what could happen just around the corner. Life is so transient. Let’s not spend all our time worrying about diet pills or reality shows. Let’s give each other hugs and kisses and daisies. Heh.

What makes you laugh?
A lot of things. Subtle, witty humor. Children’s jokes.
Who is your hero?
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Jane Goodall, David Suzuki
Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?
Dave, most likely. Or maybe Jen. At least then I know we can stand each other and keep each other company. Heh. Anyone else, I think I may get a little annoyed at after a while. I like my alone time.
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Around 10 or so. I usually wear the same 3 or 4 pairs, though.
Seriously… Where does the other sock end up?
In the dark abyss of lost socks. I don’t know. I’ve always wondered that myself. I just don’t get it. There are about 3 socks right now that don’t have their partners and I’ve done every single load of laundry (or so I thought), so where the heck are they?!
Who do you blame for your mood today?
Blame? Erm. Tink and Dave, for making me feel so darn good about my life. My mood is pretty good right now. Oh, and not thinking about things like balance transfer credit card probably makes me happy too. Heh.
If the Internet were sex… I would
probably screw it all day long: I’m pretty addicted, in another words. Hah.
Have you ever seen a dead body?
Only at funerals. They’re not cool. When the soul is gone, one can definitely tell the body just becomes an empty vessel.
What is something scientists need to invent?
Teleporting. And the cure for cancer.
What should we do with stupid people?
Stop them from breeding. For the love of Buddha, please let us create a way to stop them from breeding.
Have you ever broken a bone?
Yes, my right arm. I was put in a cast for about a month. This was when I was 5 years old. It hurt like frick.
Do you watch local news? Why?
Sometimes I do. Why? Because I can? I don’t know. Because it’s important. Yeah, that’s the right answer. Heh.
What happens after you die?
Whatever is supposed to happen.
How big is your bed? Big enough?
Queen size. It’s not big enough. We have more pillows than we have space for, but that is mostly due to my pregnancy: I can’t get comfortable and I need lots of pillows against me.
How long do you think you will live?
Hopefully well into old age. And hopefully just long enough before I become senile. That wouldn’t be fun.

Well, another week has come and gone. Last week was my last week of “client contact” (though I think I should probably see one particular client one last time, since I technically didn’t say goodbye to her yet). So now, it’s just doing paperwork and closing cases out. And then I’m all done with work. Fortunately, I can do all of this latter part at home. My boss told me yesterday during our baby shower that I could just email her all the files so I don’t have to come into the office again. I think I shall have to still come in at least one last time to turn in all my physical files and to have lunch with my Jenbug again before going on maternity leave for good. I am relieved, actually, to not have to deal with a lot of these social services issues at work. I am relieved to not have to deal with medicare insurance for my clients, or getting them extra services that they deserve, or figuring out how to help them pay their monthly bills, or getting them into counseling or medical care, or helping them with childcare and daycare costs, or any of those things. Sometimes, I feel more like a social worker than a therapist because a lot of the things most of my clients are struggling with have to do with daily basic living. While I am so very happy to be able to advocate for these people who deserve the very basics in life, especially in the “wealthiest country in the world,” I am anxious for my break. Just to take a break from taking care of everyone else so I can take care of myself and my own. It sounds like bliss.

Of all the memes to miss, I always seem to do best with Friday 5. Grr. Eh well. Maybe I’ll do a late version of it later. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my Saturday. No appointments or obligations except to get my car in for a regular tune-up and oil change and tweaking. Only downside to that is the cost of upkeep (similar to upgrading dell memory for laptop, for example — it’s costly). I wish I could just take my bike everywhere. That would be sweet. Would save a lot on gas ($1.36 per gallon — W.T.F.?!), energy, upkeep costs, etc. Maybe if/when I get another job closer to home, I’d be able to do that more regularly. Would be nice.
Looks like Obama will be our next Democratic nominee for presidency in November. WOOHOO!!! Let me just tell ya how incredibly happy I am about this. Hillary is such a backstabber — going back on things she’s said, letting violent phrases escape her lips and then making excuses for them later on, etc. As much as I don’t trust politicians in general, Obama is the clearest choice. The most honest choice, if there is such a thing. I’m definitely voting for him, and that’s pretty clear. I don’t think he’s too fond of Hillary either, and I’m hoping he doesn’t have her run as his vice president. The only upside to that would be that Hillary voters won’t vote for McCain, like they’ve been threatening (that’s the most stupidest thing I’ve heard — ever. Why the fuck would you vote for your political enemy just to shove it to your party’s inner competition? STUPID). Anyway, November should be interesting, to say the very least. We have a lot on the line for this country. While I’m busy escaping it, I know there are many out there who are still struggling day to day. I work with them. I fight for them. Every single day. It would be a blessing to have someone in office who understands this everyday struggle of the working class poor.

Yesterday, Dave and I took Gran to see the latest Indiana Jones. It’s been a very, very long time since I’ve seen the original movies, so I was kind of confused as to the back story. I think I’m going to have to re-see the originals again. I think I was just a little kid when I saw them the last time, and the details evade me. Still, the movie was very, very good, and Gran had a very good time. Every time I looked over at her in the theatre during the movie, she was on the edge of her seat, with her mouth wide open looking at the screen in excited anticipation. Imagine an 87-year-old Granny-type doing that. It’s got to be one of the cutest sights on the planet, I swear.
Time for dinner and stuff. Making some vegetarian Helen-style noodles for the husband and myself. Mmm mmm mmm!! Tomorrow I’ve got a full day of training at work, so it should be interesting. My hours and cases are dwindling down, so work is a lot less stressful. Still, it means I have more time to complete paperwork. Let’s hope I use it wisely!
