Dryer progress

[ellenmillion]

And no, dryer progress is not a euphemism for something else.

We got the venting for the dryer about half assembled, and wired in the outlet and junction box. We had to re-wire the dryer itself; the 3-prong pigtail it came with is no longer up to code and we had to install a 4-prong with ground (free dryer, so not complaining!). So, left to do are a few parts of venting and a fuse in the fusebox. We're missing one vent connection piece, I think.

Some contractions today, but all mild, painless, short and exercise-related. Guppy seems to be wiggling in different areas, so I'm hopeful she's decided to abandon her sunny-side-up position and spare me eventual back labor. I'm doing yoga floorwork periodically throughout the day to encourage this. I got some more prints printed and did a little organization of other orders, including fetching the anthology copy from the connex box that I needed - and putting Elsa's boxes of toddler clothing out there. I still deny that this is nesting, because it didn't really come with any energy.

The wonderful, amazing husband drove all the way into town (we live too far out for any delivery) just to get us take-and-bake pizza. It's about finished now, and I am starving...

I never DID get any nesting instincts prior to birth. I had weird, manic energy AFTER giving birth though. I did basically the whole nursery decorating bonanza like the day after I got home (I had already painted, I just mean in terms of the little stuff like hanging pictures, trim, arranging teddies, etc etc.)

A dryer is going to be really handy when you have to wash a lot of clothes!

I didn't 'nest' in the conventional sense of cleaning and tidying. I painted rooms: kitchen for baby #1 (which never got finished cos I got put in hosp at 34wks due to cholestasis of pregnancy,) bedroom for baby #2, picket fence for baby #3. By the time I was painting the fence, I realised there was a common theme, and that this was my version of 'nesting!' LOL!

I can't remember doing anything for #4, but I was hospitalised for a week before he was delivered at 36wks. So that was probably when I was painting with the others. ;D

Good Luck! Will be thinking of you!! ♥
