37 Weeks — The Name Remains a Mystery!

*While many of you guessed the middle name correctly, I must say that no one guessed MO’s first name in the comments, on Twitter or in the emails I received. BWAHAHAAAAA, it is a mystery of epic proportions! I HOLD THE POWER.

*My back labor has eased up substantially, which is good and bad. Good? Well, obviously, I feel better. Bad? Why in the hell did I pack my hospital bag? I mean, the baby is Never Going to ARRIIIIIIIIIVE. Let’s all feel sorry for me right now.

*We had a 37-week ultrasound yesterday and for a brief, fleeting moment, MO pulled her hands out of her mouth to show us her little profile. Wito was in the room with us and yelled, “It’s the Baby Bean show!!” (We also call her Baby Bean around the house. Whoorlita, MO, Baby Bean…we welcome confusion.) Here she is:

Annnnnd, hands back in mouth.

*I am having these massive energy spurts at 11pm while everyone else snoozes in our dark house. Last night, I poked around Wito’s room for a good 15 minutes while he slept until I realized I was being sort of creepy.

*We are in the thick of June Gloom out here, which is only making my antsy mood worse. Can’t sleep! Baby will never come! Restless legs! The world is ending!

Tell me something good. I am seriously funkafied right now.

    Blahhhh, June Gloom indeed. We were in LA this past week and it was so depressing what with the weather being so … grey. A year ago this time it was really pretty. ::sigh:: Guess we’ll just hafta come back sooner rather than later.

    Well, I don’t know what YOUR baby is going to be called but I sure am stockpiling a nice list of girls names here for when I have my own baby! This is better than the Baby Name Wizard.

    This name guessing thing is driving me crazy…I found myself thinking of “M” names all day!

    I am going with Margot/Margaux/Margeaux as well. Very classy.

    Or did someone guess Margit already?

    AHH! Put us out of our misery already!

    I went to grade school with a girl named Maybelline, so I’m going to guess that.

    I AM RIGHT, AREN’T I?

    Defunk? Okay, I’m exactly as pregnant as you – with a girl – and she is NEVER going to arrive. She seems quite content in there. I haven’t even packed a bag. Denial is a wonderful place.

    That didn’t help? Okay I’m twice your size. You’re the teenist tiniest 37w pregnant lady EVER. Your shirt fits. Mine doesn’t. My husband’s don’t. And your hair is fabulous! (That’s my favorite compliment ever.)
