On the brim
By hissychick | November 30, 2009
“How are you?” my lovely obstetrician Dr J asked as I waddled into his rooms for my latest checkup.
“Irritable is an understatement, and I’m not ready for this” I replied.
“And why would you be ready, you’re not quite 35 weeks!” he grinned.
“Well unless I’m going crazy I’m sure I felt her drop yesterday. I had the wierdest back pain….” I ventured.
“Let’s take a look shall we?”
Cue palpation, my doctor’s expert hands doing the telltale headlock check low on my abdomen.
“OK let’s do a quick ultrasound…would look at that, she is down low, her head is on the brim. What are your plans for Christmas?”
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha…(oh fuck)”.
And so after a BP check and urine sample check I was on my merry way…in denial and disbelief.
“See you in two weeks…I think you’ll still be pregnant then. Maybe”.
Although I profess surprise, I really shouldn’t given my non existent fuse and panicked final Christmas shopping of late, as well as last night’s frantic attempted fitting of a baby seat in our car.
Guess I really should start washing some baby clothes and packing a hospital bag then. You know. Just. In. Case.
Gulp.

You bump is gorgeous!
3rd child really doesn’t need much. Just some clean clothes, somewhere to sleep and plenty of love. I’m sure you’ve got all that covered.
Or try denial.
