I am under doctor's orders to head to the hospital if I think I am having contractions. She's more inclined to believe that I am pregnant than I am. I'm not so worried about giving birth out on my front lawn, as I am about the fact that I haven't picked out a name or a car seat.
A car seat is the one piece of equipment that you have to have. I have an old one. My mother collects dolls and one of her creepy babies sits in a real car seat. But none of the car seats that I like are sold in my little town. My favorite is the Orbit, but I only want the seat. I'm not really one for using a car seat anywhere other than in the car.Why doesn't Orbit sell a car seat package. I would totally buy the infant car seat, toddler car seat, and the car seat dock.
But I don't have any names picked out. It took me months to settle on names for my boys. I started working on them the day I got sonogram results on the sex. There is so much to consider when picking out a name. Will it sound good? Will it suit the child? (Newborns don't have much personality after all.)Will it look good on diplomas and business cards? Will it cause other children to tease?
I think this is just my body's way of having a miscarriage without actually being pregnant. I mean that's what happens every time one of my neighbors gives birth. All of my miscarriages have been within days of a neighbor giving birth. I stopped trying to conceive until after everyone had finished having their babies. And two of them are pregnant. So I expect there should be a new baby on the block soon. That will bring the total on my block up to seven births in the last year.
