Still Pregnant

I'm 39 weeks today and showing no signs of impending labor. That's all that's relevant about labor.

About pregnancy though, I'm nesting like crazy today. You know what's getting my attention and MUST be cleaned? Fingerprints and smudges off the wall. I'm also working on catching up laundry because I don't want any phone calls asking where something is nor do I want to think about it during the babymoon.

Endodontic Experience volume 3

Pregnancy beats up my teeth bad.

I went this morning for a root canal. The tooth looked pretty damaged on the x-ray, and the endodontist found a lot of decay in the tooth. He had a great manner--friendly, happy to explain what he was doing and why and to the point. He told me that he wanted to make sure the decay and any lingering infection was gone, and he wanted to make sure that the tooth would no longer cause pain, but he wasn't sure he could finish the root canal as he wasn't sure if there was enough tooth left to adhere to a crown. I need to consult with my dentist and possibly yank the tooth. Am I going to have a denture at the ripe old age of 27?

***

Speaking of dentures, growing up, I remember my dad wearing dentures. I remember watching him get ready in the morning, and part of the routine was him brushing his teeth, then brushing the dentures and putting them in. My dad was missing his two front teeth (among others). Watching him care for his teeth I remember thinking, "I lost my two front teeth, will they ever come back?"

Excitement in These Parts

I am excited to be having another baby. I am not excited to have morning sickness. That is all.

Edit: When I'm feeling better, I'll post about Annie's birthday and other goingons.

Lost on DVD

Back around Christmas, I convinced my husband's Mom that he'd really like to have the first season of Lost on DVD--read that I'd really wanted Lost on DVD and the husband was interested in watching it too. Sure enough, Husband got Lost. We began watching the episodes this week. Me likey.

What's the delay in getting started you may ask? Well, one of Husband's co-workers loaned us the first three seasons of 24 when he learned I was pregnant with the baby. We had to get through those seasons before we could start a new series. The first season of 24 was great. We were riveted.

The second season was going strong, but then...we noticed a few holes in the plot. The impossible conditions became comical.

Then the third season, and I just didn't care that much. Sure, I appreciated it when Jack finally killed Nina (sorry if that's a spoiler for anyone out there) but, within 24 hours he gets over his heroin addiction? Really? I don't get over a simple cold in 24 hours and Jack beats heroin? We perservered though. Husband would watch the episode while I slept through it on the couch. I would then watch the "prevoiusly on 24" & promptly fall asleep again.

Now that we've watched as Jack Bauer has single-handedly saved the world not once, not twice, but thrice, we're ready to change gears. That's where Lost comes in. Husband and I have only seen a few episodes, but I already like it--especially what is left unseen and untold. The only thing I'm wondering is if it will take on an X-Files- like element of unexplained phenomena that becomes convuluted and difficult to understand. No spoilers on the other seasons please!
