40+8

Seriously.

Today I had the ultrasound, and I'm happy to report that the baby is looking perfect and ready to be born. I had a short glimpse of a squishy face sucking on a fist (!).
The less super news is that they estimate the weight of the baby to be....
TEN POUNDS EIGHT OUNCES.
Good lord. That's enough for two babies!

Tomorrow, my last midwife appointment, as I'm not leaving until something invasive and labour inducing happens. Or plans to do it the next day.

Lately, whenever I am trying to do something like get off the couch, put my socks on, or breathe, this song keeps popping into my head. I have to share it with you. The artist is a schizophrenic street person named Wesley Willis (sadly, now deceased). An odd sort of genius. It's called "I'm Sorry That I Got Fat, I Will Slim Down". The video was not done by Wesley, and I don't think it does the song much justice. Just close your eyes when listening. Please enjoy.



I WILL SLIM DOWN.
