No baby yet!
Jess got here this week and we've had fun hanging out. She spent our walk on the Coastal Trail yesterday telling Baby all the reasons that the world is ready for him or her to come now: there's plenty of diapers, mom and dad have run all their errands, we managed to take the dog to the vet, things are ready!
Baby Bain seems only slightly interested in complying. I'm having contractions that are showing up on the monitor at the hospital, which is reassuring. (At least I'm not imagining them!) But they aren't doing much work yet.
After months of warnings that gestational diabetes means early induction, etc, the doctors all seem happy to let the baby cook for a little longer as well--no signs of trouble with monitoring, which is totally great. We'll let it happen naturally, if possible!
I've been to the acupuncturist twice--and again this morning. It definitely gets things moving!
We had a hilarious afternoon at the Alaska Dinner Factory yesterday, which is one of those places where they provide all the ingredients to put together your own meal. We made chocolate cakes, raspberry pork loin and meatloaf--all three of us doing each one, much to the amusement of the girl running the shop.
We'll keep you updated!
So, is Jess the sister that sent you birthday cake in Missouri? If so, I love her! Maybe almost as much as I love Duncan! <3 <3 <3
