Conversations With Bert: Andy Samberg, Part 1

NST # 3 + grape juice!

So, I bet you are wondering...when is Lynette gonna have her baby? Good question! This week's double doctor appts went well, no sign of stress during my (his) non stress test (the delicious grape juice got him kicking up a storm) and plenty of fluid in there too. Baby C is also measuring right on (slightly on the smaller side) but I'll take it. We are good. But as of today - I feel the same. So I don't think it will be today. I also was let off the hook about inducing on my due date. They are now treating me as a "normal" person who is pregnant. So the window of when this baby is arriving just got a little bigger.

In other news, my mom is back at UCMC today to get her filter taken out. They put it in before her surgery in December to prevent blood clots. It still amazes me to think this whole time I've been pregnant she has been dealing with ovarian cancer. It has been an interesting 9 months. And to think she was just diagnosed in early April as cancer-free is a miracle. Jason and I were commenting that this is shaping up to be a great summer for my parents. They are planning like 6 vacations! I'm not kidding! They kick off their summer tour at our place - arriving just in time to meet Baby C. Who, in my opinion helped my mom heal. Baby C doesn't know that yet, but I'll tell him someday.

So the countdown continues. Stay tuned everybody!

NST #2 (two weeks & 2 days to go)

Each Tuesday in May I'm getting a NST (non-stress test) and fluid check at the hospital. Well, I should say, baby C is getting these check-ups. So far, we've passed the test two weeks in a row. Whoo Whoo. I know they are keeping an eye on me b/c of my age- and that's fine. I want the baby to be safe. Here is the printout of the NST in action. The top line is the baby's heartbeat and the bottom line (all the way to the right on the photo) is my contractions. I wasn't having any this week but I did last week. Its crazy to think sometime in the next two weeks I'm having a baby. Honestly couldn't be more excited and scared all at once. And there will be birthday cake. Jason promised me (us). My prediction is I'll go all the way to May 27th- any other predictions out there?

Best part of today...

Das Racist – “You Oughta Know”



I heard this song on the way to work today. It (so far) has been the best part about my day...although it is taco night - so.....that'll be cool too. OH - and throw in the new of the death of Osama bin Laden...and you've got yourself a pretty good Monday.

Here's more info on the song:

"Hilarious new track from Das Racist. Not a cover of the popular Alanis Morrissette song, more like a twisted interpretation of a Billy Joel hit, where the guys lazily mimic Billy’s vocals during the choruses. These guys aren’t for everyone, but they’re here to remind you not to take things too seriously. You’re bound to laugh at least a couple of times while listening to their brand new mixtape Shut Up, Dude, which was released online for free a couple of weeks ago."
