I’ve just found and debugged the largest problem with my code. The rest should be gravy, and given that I don’t have a baby tonight I’ll probably finish my mail client tomorrow.

Tomorrow I need to write a function that parses serverResponses in order to create human readable messages.

This has to be done for:

• get one message
• get a list of messages
• delete a message

I’ve written to my instructors and told them that I have fallen behind since I got caught in the “refactoring loop”, there are always ways of making the code nicer, slimmer, prettier, more stable.

I’ve read about SIDS and appearantly this can happen to a perfectly healthy unborn baby as well, and that makes me worried sometimes. It would be so cruel to have gone 9 months and then suddenly lose the one we’re all waiting for, just hours before delivery. Well, I don’t think this will happen, but sometimes I think about it and it makes me worried.

A couple of days ago me and D went shopping for a new frying pan. He accidentally dropped one in the store, and it made a loud, sudden noise. Our child JUMPED inside of me at the sound of that noise, and I thought it was so funny. I decided to try it again a couple of days later when I hadn’t felt him move for quite some time.

I started with pushing him around a little, to see if he would react to my movements, but he must’ve been sound asleep. Evil mommy (that’s me) then set the egg timer on ringing right next to her belly, and sure enough he woke up and moved around. Alot.

We’ve bought a bunch of baby things, a crib, blankets, clothes etc, and D said “This is just like getting lots of battery driven toys for x-mas… But no batteries.”

I like how we can interact even though he’s “in there” and we are “out here”, but now (Saturday) it’s time for him to join us. Lets see if he has the same plans

I can’t wait until this baby arrives. Of course I want to meet him and be his mother, but first and above all I want my body back. He’s taking up so much room inside of me now that I can hardly sit down, bend over to tie my shoe laces, or sleep at night. He moves around in there, protesting, pushing up into my diaphragm and down into my bladder, and even though it doesn’t hurt (except for an occasional sting) it is really getting to me.

My pregnancy has been grand, a beautiful time in life when I have felt more physically and emotionally stable than ever before, but now, when my body is retaining water and my feet are hurting from my weight, I wish to be released.

Rather sooner than later.

Baby baby, please come and join us, there are so many beautiful things for you to see out here.
