long, rambling, probably nonsensical update

I am back online after what seems like an extremely long time. We finally got our wires fixed on our wireless Internet which seems extremely weird but whatever. the power box needs power. Go figure.

Anyway, Midwife appointment/baby update. According to the midwife,last Saturday, I was 33 weeks along rather than 32. She has my due date on August 10 rather than August 17th like the sono showed. Perhaps that is because she will not be the one bothered by the numerous calls from numerous people wanting to know why I haven't had my baby yet even though I am "due". Whatever "due" means since it is all just a guess and no one can be certain when I actually got pregnant. Having the experience of being first 3 weeks "over-due" and then 2 weeks "over-due" with previous babies, I would rather not be so anxious as to under-guess my gestation rather than over-guess it. I would be happy to continue to tell people I'm due in "August, sometime" with a polite smile, while hoping that I won't still be pregnant in Sept. Having had a baby due May 18 and not be born until June 21, I want to prepare myself for that long wait just in case. I know I can handle that much better with the right mindset. Three weeks of telling myself "surely it will be today" really wore hard on my mind. Then again I have had a baby 2 weeks early too, so that is just something else I need to be prepared for, just in case.
I am rambling now, I know. That is what comes from being offline so long I guess.

Anyway, the baby is fine and growing like he's supposed to be. Not that I am certain it is a "he" even though that is what the sono guy said. I just still have a hard time wrapping my brain around it. For now, we pretend it is a boy and therefore are collecting boy stuff but if the baby turns out to be a girl, I will by no means be taken by surprise.

Still, we have to at least discuss circumcision so we can be prepared with a decision. We haven't yet discussed it, I don't think. At least not that I can remember. I know I have brought it up. Did we discuss it? ahhh what a joy it is to have a pregnant brain with limited functionality.
