53 days

I did not get any calls regarding the management jobs.   I am now so very pregnant I cannot look for a job. Well I could, but no one will hire a pregnant person.   And I still have not won the lottery.

53 days to go.  I can relax now because if the baby is born tomorrow she will live and be fine.  There is the death zone called the second trimester.   During the death zone if the baby comes it will likely die, or worse, live and be retarded/disabled.  The horror of the second trimester is mostly that you have suffered the first for 3 months, only to lose the baby.   Pregnancy books talk about the loveliness of the 2nd trimester, you are not sick anymore, but you are not heavily pregnant.  I found that middle zone the worst.  Now that I am almost cooked, I can relax and start to think about the baby.  I love her.  Sounds odd, but she moves so much I feel like she is already real.  We interact.

My zero dollar baby/low cost baby plan is moving along.  I scored a $5 tub, new $27.  The tub deserves it's own post. $10 potty, new $27.  $44 overpriced wrap for $20.  $20 is still too much.  $20 breast feeding pillow with extra cover.   200 disposable diapers at 40% off Amazons price.  My big score is 14 Bum Genius diapers, free.  They need stripping, hopefully I can rehabilitate them.

Mom and Aunty are  giving me a party in March, without me.  I made a registry, I should get a few gifts.  I loaded it with diapers from Green Mountain Diaper, $700 worth.  If people actually bought them all (I doubt it) I would have all the diapers I need for the entire period of diapering.  I am excited about diapering.  I know.  Diaper just hold poop.

Husband spent $16k on Spanish stock.  I couldn't stop him.

What else do I want to remember.  Not much happens at home waiting to have a baby.
