1 part funny. 2 parts serious.

Ok, so I stopped doing the dishes, mid-dishes, to sit and write this. So I think it's funny. If you don't thats ok. I'll only dislike you for a day. or two. just kidding.

This was my conversation with the cashier today.

She holds up the little newborn sleeping outfit (that I was buying because I wasn't sure I have enough clothes for a newborn, and because it was cheap, and cute....) and she says

"Oh this is cute"

Me: "Thanks, I thought so too"

"Except it has a ruffle" ......

Awkward pause....(in my head I said, "Is she for real right now?")

Then she jumped in with, "i have all boys"

I awkwardly laugh and say "oh"

She then says, that could work for a boy or a girl except for that it has a ruffle.

I awkwardly agree, but thought to myself, I personally wouldn't choose to dress my boys in leopard print, but I guess that could just be me................
(it's literally all leopard print, not just a little)

Oh well, no biggie, she's still nice right?

Then, we awkwardly talk about my pregnancy and I say how I'm ready to be done being pregnant and excited to have baby.

She then responds, "Yep, looks like your getting all ready! You've got your nursing bras!"

Why yes, ma'am I do in fact have them now, thank you for letting everyone else in line know too. Maybe you could tell them what size I am, or even show them in case they're wondering what brand to buy next when they need nursing bras.

Pretty sure that no matter what kind of bra a woman is buying, a cashier isn't supposed to say anything about it. They're not supposed to comment on any form of underwear. Just sayin.

On a more serious note, it looks like a C-section is in my future. I have not lost all hope, I have a small feeling she could turn right before the excitement begins. But either way, I won't be getting my out-of-hospital birth. And my midwife will only get to be my doula which means she won't catch the baby but she can at least be there through the whole birth. If it's a C-section though, she will have just been my prenatal care person. Which I have still very much enjoyed, I love that I made every appointment through her, I had her home phone, cellphone, and email, and she taught classes once a month. She is awesome.

I have come to terms with either one. I'm still just so excited to bring this baby girl into the world that I don't care anymore how she comes, just as long as it's the best option for her. She is still chillin on her bum, and thats ok. If she turns, thats ok. I just want something to happen. I'm almost 38 weeks. And I don't think being pregnant the last few weeks is very fun. So,
 baby girl, we'd like to meet you, come on down! Preferrably head first--but if thats too scary mama understands!

Ha ha, I just have to say I would NOT dress my son in leopard print...ever. baha. That's so funny, I can't believe she said all that. Maybe you should share who she was and what store she works at so I can make sure to never go in her line. Hopefully your little girl comes soon...and hopefully head first!! :)

p.s.- cherish these last few days with your baby all to yourself, those tiny movements and that special connection...as soon as she's born you have to share her. :( ha ha, maybe I'm just weird, but I had a hard time with it.

I love thr awkward conversations you have with random people while you are pregnant, they are always awesome.
It was good seeing you the other day! You look so good! I'm jealous. Those last few weeks are so rough, hang in there! Good luck on your delivery and let me know when she is here! I have a little present for ya I'm gonna send up or bring over when we come up for Christmas. Good luck Sam! I'm excited for you!
