40w6d Baby Arlo update
In a hospital bed. Getting IV started. Baby should be here today.
Stay tuned.
40w5d Baby Arlo Update
I just realized that I hadn’t posted a proper Baby Arlo update yet today!
So, still here, and still pregnant.
It’s my birthday and while I wasn’t real excited about sharing my birthday, I’d be more excited to have a baby so I’ll learn to share if need be.
I realized today that I am in the middle of my FOURTH WEEK of maternity leave. Some guys at my work were joking that I probably lied about my due date just to have some extra time off, that I probably am not really due until June 1. Um, if this belly …
Maybe today?
Mallory woke up this morning and saw my belly and “it’s big, mommy”.
Then she pulled up my shirt and said “hi Baby Arlo!”.
And then she said “GET OUT BABY ARLO! Get out!!”
All while I was standing there trying not to laugh.
Another preposition story
Rick has started asking Mallory to listen to him when he needs her to do something. He says: “Mallory, you need to listen to Daddy” and she responds “I listen for you Daddy”.

And this doesn’t have to do with prepositions but it’s another Mallory-ism. She likes to eat dinner at the “res-or-raunt”. I know the pronunciation isn’t that far off from normal but it still kills me when she says it.
40w4d Baby Arlo Update
I promise that once the baby is born, I won’t continue with the “1d old Baby update”, “2d old Baby update” daily posts.
But, I’m still here. With a baby in my tummy.
I don’t know where she gets it.
Mallory continues to have this unbelievably stubborn streak. If you want to get her dressed and are already on the floor ready to do it, she wants to do it “riiiiight….HERE” and it’s ALWAYS just out of reach of where Rick or I happen to already be. Same with fixing her hair, or brushing her teeth, or putting her shoes on. My new trick is to tell her I don’t think she can put her own pants/shirts/socks/shoes on and BAM – she’ll do it herself. Let’s hope that works for a while. ;-)
She is also really really bossy. When we …
40w3d Baby Arlo Update
Still pregnant.
READERS DIGEST VERSION: Had my weekly appointment this morning. Fluid levels are great again, baby was a little sluggish and sleepy so they had to use this taser thingy on my belly to wake it up for the monitors. Then the baby jumped and they got the readings they needed to see and I was allowed to leave. Dr B is happy with how I am progressing and has me scheduled for an induction Sunday night (we’ll go in ~6p). Because I am so far along already, it’s expected that my labor will be way faster than it was …
