Me and My Girl
For a lot of this pregnancy, I haven't felt so much like I'm getting to know this baby. And, honestly, I'm not really, am I? ;-) But Seth was such a funny dude even in the womb that I had distinct impressions about his personality. Which I wrote in my journal. And which were correct! Ha-HA!
Tell-tales for Seth.... He was a total acrobat, moving in strange, discernible, and funny ways. He was wildly active as such a tiny thing that I could feel crazy stuff at only 15 weeks. He never got into fetal position. (Hahaha! I wrote in my journal: "If that's not Matt-like behavior, I don't know what is." HAHA! Fetal position. Who needs it.) His ultrasounds were hilarious. Then I'd get those non-stress tests where they strap you up to a monitor, and he'd kick the monitor off—over, and over, and over again. I don't remember how I got the impression that he was also a mellow dude but with a physically active personality, but I did (maybe just because I guessed he'd be much like Matt), and it's totally true.
This baby has been asleep at every single ultrasound. Aw.... Darn! And she's more of a rumbler, not an acrobat. Her movement is fairly nondescript to me—instead of feeling feet and arms doing weird things, I just feel a rumbler in there hurting my organs. :) I also didn't feel her for so long because of the anterior placenta. She's a mystery to me!
[Amy says the mystery part is what I'm learning about her personality. She'll be an enigma! She'll be . . . like me!! I think that's an awesome and hilarious theory. As she grows up, if I ever think to myself, "man, you're just a tough one to figure out!," I'll also think, "you've been that way from the womb!" :)]
But lately there's something I've really, really been bonding with this little girl over. She's been throwing little fits. My little rumbler has these sudden bursts of activity where she frantically kicks as hard as she can—this jolting side-to-side craziness for a few seconds that makes all her other movement look weak. For a few brief moments—as knees and feet and butt and shoulders take turns frenetically stretching as far as my skin will let them—she seems like she's fed up with being a good sport about her compromised space, and she's just got to bust out.
"AAAAHHHH!!! Get me OUT OF HERE!!!"
I swear, I hear it! ;-) [I hear you, mija!]
And, while I grimace in pain from all the things her little fit is destroying in there :), I also smile to myself and think, "ah... You and me baby girl. I'm with you on this!"
And I think, hey, we can do this together. Almost there, baby.

Are you a winner? :)
It's Baby Time! And by that I mean: it's time to make your best guess as to when this baby is coming. (There's a link at the bottom to input your prediction!) Winner gets.... Fame and glory!
Maybe I'll even send some chocolate or cookies or a prize or something. ;-)
At the very least, I promise to tell the world you have ESP.
So, here's some background information to help you with your clairvoyance:
1) Baby is scheduled to be induced on November 24th. My appointment is at 7:30 am. If they have room for me, they get me in, they hook me up to IVs, they blah blah blah. And the process begins....
2) On November 24th, I will be 38 weeks and 1 day along. Seth came all on his own at 38 weeks and 6 days.
3) When Seth came, it was after two months of him being engaged and me having contractions every 3-7 minutes every day all day. With this pregnancy, I've had a gazillion contractions still. A gazillion. They started earlier than with Seth and they've been stronger than with Seth. But baby didn't go crazy and become engaged at 31 weeks. She's not engaged now.
4) You know how first labors last a really long time...? And then by your second labor, things tend to happen in more of a hurry...?
5) When I went into labor with Seth, I had one very, very painful contraction out of the blue. (Remember, I'd had contractions every few minutes for months. Suddenly one was horribly painful.) A few minutes later, another very painful contraction. It got my attention. A few minutes later, very painful contraction #3 did not stop! For the next four hours, I was never not contracting—not for a single moment. They didn't even know how to read the monitor! I kept hearing things like: "We're sure that monitor isn't broken?" "Well, you're just one solid contraction!" "Wow, I've never seen contractions like this. You're a contractions machine!" The time from that first painful contraction until I was fully dilated wasn't more than two hours. Because of his stress, and because I didn't have contractions come and go to give us a good cool-down period between pushes, they'd only let me push every 10 minutes or so and it took as long to deliver as it had taken to dilate. The whole thing only took four hours. Four hours. And only half of that was to dilate. First baby, y'all.
Take from that information what you will!
Will I make it to induction, or will she come before then? Do you have some cruel reason you think the induction will be derailed and she'll come later...? Will my labor go just as fast as with Seth, or faster, or was Seth a total fluke and I'll be stalled out all day...?
The doctor is planning to let me sit there "ripening" :) for four hours. He claims I'll be very comfortable. (I can't help but wonder if this will jump-start contractions more than they think.... We'll see. :)) Then he expects to be able to break my water. He hopes to not even use pitocin. He says baby by dinnertime.
But, like I said.... Take from all this information what you will!!
I'm tempted to use Price Is Right rules to discourage people from wishing a long labor on me. Hahaha! But, no, I think you deserve full glory if you're the closest from either direction. Good luck! Channel your inner psychic! And we'll see soon how right you were!

Halloween
One of my favorite things about Halloween this year was watching Seth enjoy his candy. It brought back such fun memories! I loved seeing the excitement in his face and remembering just how that felt.
Matt and I were talking about how we remember that looking forward to Halloween as kids was more exciting than anything but Christmas. In the few days before, I could hardly stop thinking about it—always with total disbelief that something SO AWESOME as getting a HUGE PILE OF CANDY was really going to happen in a matter of days, one day, hours...!! A HUGE PILE OF CANDY!!! Can it be true? A HUGE PILE!!! OF CANDY!!!
And then the trick-or-treating would happen, and there it was. The huge pile. So fun and amazing and unbelievably incredible! I loved dumping out the pillowcase and seeing the spoils. :) Every year I meticulously sorted my candy, then counted it just for fun, then strategized how to eat it all. Plowing through that candy was just about the funnest five days of the year. :)
It was so fun to watch Seth open up his candy bag at home and light up over what he'd managed to bring home. You could see the wheels turning.... Which to eat first...? And after that...? He even had a really, really fun time offering candy to me and Matt—even things he likes. I think he felt rich enough to be a benefactor and it really excited him. So darling!
I had about half a moment where I thought, holy cow, he's going to fill up on candy before dinner. Maybe we should ration.... But it was immediately squashed by the memory of how fun it is to have one holiday a year where a HUGE PILE OF CANDY is yours, ALL YOURS!!! Why spoil the fun? Never! So lucky Seth gets to grow up without the memories of his parents sticking the halloween candy up in a cupboard and saying you get to pick two a day, or whatever. ;-) He gets to sort through it, eat it for breakfast, count it, give it away as presents.... Whatever he wants.... For a whopping three or four days out of the year. I love it. And we loved watching him love it. Too fun.
(Sidenote: To gorge or not to gorge? I think about this concept every time I get a big box of chocolates from someone. It's a lot better to just eat it all at once than spread it out! In my case, it's the calories I worry about. I trust my body to have no idea what to do with 8000 calories in 24 hours. Hahaha! But an extra 600 calories every day for two weeks...? Ouch! Trouble. With a kid—in addition to not wanting to spoil the fun—we'd still rather he gorge himself on candy for a couple of days than have candy every day for a month or whatever. Mucho mejor. What's the worst that can happen? A tummy ache? And then it stays totally novel and awesome, and unique to the holiday rather than turning into a little habit of getting candy after dinner every day.... Food for thought. Candy for thought! ;-))
(Another sidenote: I always wondered how the heck my meticulously-sorted candy disappeared faster than I expected. My mom fessed up just a few years ago.... Haha! While we were at school, she'd sneak some chocolates out of our stashes!! I have to admit.... I can see myself perhaps doing this to Seth someday.... Ha! Or maybe he'll keep wanting to give things away. Too bad he loves dark chocolate. ;-))
Wednesday, November 10
Today.
The Good:
Just found out that in addition to the two weeks of vacation we happened to get right at baby-time, Matt can take three weeks of paternity leave and not pay it back! YES! Now we just figure when we can make this work with the schedule they've given him (he can't do this during any critical rotations). Five weeks at home! During residency. Am I dreaming?
Also.... Matt gets the whole day off tomorrow. Woo hooooooo!!! Is it just my melted brain making things up, or has he not had a day off in about eighteen years? We get a few in the next couple of weeks! I love you ER. (Even if Matt thinks you're the one branch of medicine that's horribly boring.)
The Bad:
Seth woke three hours too early. Again. He was sick a couple weeks ago, and for at least a week now he's been awakened by incessant coughing early, early in the morning. I laid in bed trying not to burst into tears when I woke up hearing the coughing again this morning.... Not only is the day too long (starting three hours early!), but it's hardly manageable with such a tired Mama dealing with such a tired, tired boy all day. Every day. All day. He just needs a good night of sleep! Please?
The Ugly:
Me. :) Hahaha! Or at least my feet.
Oh, which brings me to another Good:
The glorious pedicure/foot massage I got yesterday. Ahhhhhh.... So therapeutic. (Thanks, Mom!)

November!
It's November!! AHHHH!! We're having a baby! :-D
In honor of November, when we met and when we married (four years apart :)), here's a little survey someone sent me forever ago.
When is your “engagement” anniversary:
June 22, 2002
When is your “marriage” anniversary:
November 26, 2002
How long have you known your spouse:
Since I was 17! Twelve years.
How long did you date/court before you were engaged:
Almost a year. Although, we weren't completely "official" that whole time. ;) (Matt had a hard time overtly admitting to ourselves that we were dating. So we just spent all day every day together, with dinner every night that he paid for. For . . . a long time . . . . Haha!)
Where did you meet your spouse for the first time:
Lobby of my dorm.
Do you have any children:
Seth and baby girl!
Do you have any house pets:
Never! :) (We once had a fish. But even that got gross.)
Do you own a house or rent:
Renting currently.
Do you live in the country or town/city:
"America's Finest City" :) YES!
What is one of your favorite activities together:
Walking the beach for the last hour or so before sunset.
Do you have a favorite vacation spot:
Ooooooohhhh.... Too many! Which to pick? I'll say that places we dream of owning a vacation home are Korea and Costa Rica, and we're master-planning a way to live in London for a year sometime.
When did you first kiss:
After many, many weeks of dating. AND! After Matt had already told me he loved me. (He says he was waiting for the right moment.... ;-))
What church do you attend:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Is this the church you were married in:
Yes, we were married in the San Diego temple.
What town is your current address at:
San Diego! Woo hoo!!
Do you work or stay at home:
I stay at home with my buddy Seth.
Where did you go on your honeymoon:
San Diego! (Can you tell we love San Diego?)
What was the funniest gift you gave when dating:
For a while we gave each other Little Mr. and Miss books (Little Miss Curious, etc.) with funny poems written in them.
How long did you know each other before you started dating:
Three years.
Who asked who out:
I'm not sure which date to count as our "start," or who would get credit.
How old are each of you:
He is 30 and I'm 29, counting the days to be 30! YEAH!
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple:
Exhaustion.
Did you go to the same school:
Yes. This was good and bad. Good: we were at the same school! Bad: we couldn't stand the place. We dream of an alternate reality where we met at Stanford or something. :)
Are you from the same home town:
I'm from California, he's from Denver.
Who is smarter:
My IQ is five points higher! That's right, folks. Five whole points. :) But Matt has read everything, remembers everything he's read, and consequently knows approximately 800,000 times the number of things I know.
Where do you eat out most as a couple:
We love ethnic food, and we love a pretty view.
Where is the farthest you two have traveled together as a couple:
Korea? Italy? Which is farther away...? Probably Korea, huh?
[Sidenote: Ok, I just calculated the distance from San Diego to Pusan and to Rome. 6110 miles to Pusan. 6375 miles to Rome! So I'm not crazy to have to wonder which is farthest! I thought for sure the answer would be thoroughly embarrassing, and instead it's a virtual tie! But I suppose Italy wins. At least until I get funny and try to find the farthest Korean city we visited and the farthest Italian city. We lived in Denver when we traveled to both, which would give Korea the huge win. But we traveled from California.... Hmmm.... :)]
Who has the craziest exes:
We were pretty circumspect about dating and don't technically have exes. :) Hands down, I have the more embarrassing crushes. (Mostly because I had so many, while Matt crushed on no one. :))
Who has the worse temper:
Neither of us has a temper. Matt's foul mood is darker than mine.
Who does the cooking:
Matt! By a lot. (He never needs a cookbook. And he's good at it. And he loves it. So if he's home, he's probably the one.... :))
Who is more social:
Hahahaha! Me! Which is not saying much. We are total homebodies and love it.
Who is the neat-freak:
Depends. I'm more prone to leaving things out in the first place than is Matt, but Matt is more tolerant of something out for a long while than I am.
Who is more stubborn:
Depends! :) On who is right. Haha!
Who hogs the bed:
Right now I have a massive u-shaped body pillow taking up a large portion of the bed, so I guess me at the moment. :)
Who wakes up earlier:
Matt has to get up so early, the poor guy!
Where was your first date:
Again.... Which to count...? But we like to say our "first date" was a Laker game. Courtside seats at the Pepsi Center in Denver. I slapped Shaq, stealthily held hands with Kobe, high-fived Rick Fox, B-Shaw and D-Fish. Awesome night. Oh.... And being with Matt was cool, too. (Would have been cooler if he'd have kissed me. Hahaha!! Fun, fun night together, though. :))
Who had more boyfriends/girlfriends:
We're tied at one. Each other! :) [Aw....] And yes, that's totally awesome. (Like I said, though, I have the funnier dating history. He was smart to just be a cool independent before me. :))
Do you get flowers often:
Sometimes! Not that often, though, because there's usually a far more romantic alternative and he's so good at thinking of those. I don't surprise him with creative moments nearly as awesomely as he does for me. I try so hard to think of great ideas! Matt is fun. :)
How do you spend the holidays:
We love to spend holidays at home with our own little family. It's the greatest. Always will be. :)
Who is more jealous:
Of...what...? Neither of us gets jealous of really anything, anytime.
How long did it take to get serious:
Three years. Haha!
Who does the laundry:
He's always shared the task with me tons. But now we have a washing machine he adores that plays Korean ditties, and I feel like I have cement in my ribs, and he's been doing all the laundry. Cheerfully. It's, well...pretty much heaven.... :)
Who’s better with the computer:
Several years ago I would have said me by a hair (plus, Matt was still preferring PCs! Please...), but Matt has stayed with the times and I'm still living in 2001. So Matt. Big time.
Leave a piece of advice for the other couples:
Talk. :)
