The Dénouement
Aug. 23rd, 2018 10:59 amStill no baby. Stella will officially be a Virgo and if she arrives tomorrow, I’ll be the winner on picking the right date. My sister is at her OB appointment and we are all waiting in anticipation on what they are going to decide. I can honestly tell from a picture that I saw this morning that the baby has shifted, but she’s still not quite there. If they just naturally let her keep the baby in that baby won’t be here until next week! Poor Kate.
Ha! I just got an update. She said that they are going to wait until Monday to induce her. She looks fine, but no more effacement or any dilation. I knew it. I know my sister and I can just see it in the way she’s hanging. Stella will be here next week. I hope I’m wrong for Kate’s sake.
Caleb had a successful potty day at school and he was in good spirits about it all day. It made for an easier day in general with him. I was also super nervous yesterday because last night was the first time I my class went over a reading and I didn’t know how they were going to do with a seminar style type class. They really are babies when it comes to speaking in class and need a little encouragement to talk. I posed lots of questions, took my time to let them answer, but I still eventually had to jump in and fill in the blanks. It was hard for them to get the allegory of The One’s Who Walk Away from Omelas, but we got there. They are eager and trying. I guess that’s a win.
Next week is all about Poe and I’m really hoping the weather begins to reflect the dark madness of the man. I think I’ll make a fun powerpoint about Poe and make it all dark and spooky in the classroom. I’m pushing the summer back and that’s not easy around here.
I told myself that I would have “playtime” to write and sit with my tea until 11am and then I have to clean the house. For the last two weeks we have been dealing with new semester dealings and everything, I mean everything is cluttered and dirty for simply not having the time to pick up after ourselves. Jon is the most amazing partner in the world by doing the dishes every single night and staying on top of the laundry. But, I pick up the rest and those toilets need some serious attention.
Ok. One more cup of tea and I’m off.
