Having a sick baby is no fun. Luckily, she feels good most of the day, but night time is horrible. She screamed and coughed all night with little cat naps or nursing sessions in between. When she woke up around 6, I tried to feed her and she screamed through it, so we came out to the couch, which is firmer. She ate for a bit, then fell asleep on my shoulder. She woke up screaming and coughing, I walked her around for about 30 minutes, rinse, repeat. She's back to dozing on my shoulder.
I want to lay her down, make some oatmeal and dive into the last of my grading (of course I leave 3 essays as my final grading expedition) and start report cards, but I'm afraid to put her down.
I can only say, I am brilliant in that everything I assigned this last week was multiple choice and thus easily graded. All I brought home were last-chance benchmark re-takes and of course, the essays I've been dragging around for weeks. One essay I need to grade in depth, one I just need to check the corrections were made, one I just need to verify that I agree with my partner's scoring and one more I forgot about is a credit only paper. It shouldn't take too long when I get down to it, but when my baby is screaming, I really don't care about report cards anymore.
Nick has been so good with her this week. I feel bad that his first week home with her is full of sickies, but he really knows how to handle it. He's also got all sorts of projects and chores going at once. He's a much better house husband than I am a house wife. He helps me split the night time baby duties so both of us have a chance at normalcy the next day.

It's no pancake bunny, but that's just because I don't have the ingredients for pancakes...or a bunny.

I know it is the 5th, I'm running a bit behind these days.

Labor, in particular, the waiting for labor is so different for everyone. Reading through the tags you can see a lot of different experiences. I created this poll to give people another way to share their pre-labor experiences that might even show some patterns. I'm also bored, my husband is crashed out on the couch and I don't have the heart to wake him and demand a back rub.
Poll in here! )

Yesterday I had my students use percentages to figure out how much of my pregnancy is left.
40-33 = 7 weeks remaining
7/40 = .175
17.5 %

or 33/40 = .825
82.5% done.

Math Rules!

I have a lot to do today and it is actually quite easy, but I really want a nap. I just can't see myself waking up from a nap and actually getting anything done.
NAP!

In other news, beans are spilled.
For Christmas, Nick got me comfort presents: A maternity shirt and sweater, cushy soft 2-ply toilet paper, jamba juice. mmmmmmmm.
Yesterday too, my belly started to pop out more. Great timing.

Look at my baby! )
