Brian is at the store buying some groceries, including ingredients for a peanut butter banana cream pie I am going to make. My nesting and seclusion are taking the form of cooking and baking. For dinner tonight I made an elaborate tuna noodle casserole.

It’s not total seclusion; I did take Kona for a walk today. I guess I also took myself and the fetus for a walk. Trying to remain somewhat active, even if it’s only a 3/4 mile waddle. The weather was gray and chilly, the sun trying and failing to burn a hole in the clouds.

Tomorrow it will rain, and we have a doctor appointment. Though anything could happen between now and then, meaning I could go into labor I suppose, which would be great because the waiting would be over, as would the discomfort of pregnancy, but most importantly I will finally hold my baby, see what she looks like, hear her voice.

She has hiccups now.
