Last night Mike and I went out on a date. We don't do it much, as evidenced by Lawrence's shock and dismay that he would not be accompanying us. We saw "What to expect when you are expecting", which from the previews looked to be a romantic comedy about the funny side of becoming parents. It had its funny moments, but it was largely a serious movie about relationships and how they are impacted by pregnancy/expecting a baby. Movie fail, if anything the birth scenes were absolutely terrifying. The c-section mama lost consciousness on the table and you are left with the husband in the hallway in tears. She was okay, but that hit a little too close to home when we are scheduled in 9 days.
So to lighten up, or try to, afterwards we went shopping. Mike was seriously dismayed at the cost of baby stuff, luckily we were given all the big items and clothes by his sister whose son is almost 1, otherwise our gear would be much more limited. He picked out some cute bibs, and camo pacifiers (I had to just let this go, I hate them, but I did make it clear that about 6 months is my upper limit for kid's using them...) I got some baby medicines (gas drops, diaper rash ointment, etc) and a nursing nightgown, and hangars. We are fairly lame. :)
And we headed home. It is likely the last time we will be out, just the two of us, until after Ellsworth is here. My countdown clock is in single digits.
Off-topic - Most recent concern: my fingers have gone numb from swelling in my wrists and I can't grip things or close my hands into fists. I have to type with the 2 fingers on my left hand that still work well. I'm nervous about holding the baby safely. :(
