Ready

Last night we finally saw the Oscar award winning movie "Crash", which was very good. There was one scene in particular that really got to me...if you haven't seen it yet, you might want to skip to the next paragraph. Okay, so there's this scene where a five year old girl runs into her father's arms just as another guy is about to shoot him, but she gets "shot" instead. The father is crying out and I just totally lose it. I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant or the thought of that happening to my little girl, but the tears kept coming. I think I even saw Trung's eyes water. You can actually see a still image of the scene if you click on the link. Anyhow, yeah, good movie.

Today I painted a butterfly peg and a butterfly photo holder for Lydia's room. I started working on the clock as well, though I have to wait a couple days for the paint to dry before manipulating the design a bit. I did a couple loads of laundry and sorted out my bigger maternity clothes for my cousin since all I've been wearing lately are big t-shirts and shorts. We went swimming, had dinner, and watched a depressing special on 20/20 about the Last Days on Earth.

So, I was hoping that Lydia would be born early, but seeing that she's due in only five days, it feels like she's going to be late. I really should read those parenting magazines like I said I would...ah, something to do tomorrow. Oh, and another reason why I want the baby to come soon besides the fact that I'm beginning to get bored, the pregnancy is beginning to be uncomfortable. I've been waking up every night for the last week and a half to go to the bathroom, the bottoms of my feet have begun to hurt from the extra weight (I'm still at 144 from last week), and sometimes a sharp pain runs down my right back side for no particular reason. Yeah, I'm sooooo ready!
