First Notice: Past Due
Well, STILL pregnant. Baby Boy's due date has come and gone. Though the doctor told me 41-42 weeks is not unusual I must admit I was holding on to that day. I figured the little guy would be enjoying his first Hokie football game on the couch with us, but instead he got the usual muffled Daddy screams through my abdomen wall. Perhaps his first words won't be "Tubbs, shut up!" but "GLENNON! You idiot!" Of course it all turned out ok on Saturday. Since we couldn't have Baby, at least we got to retain the Commonwealth Cup! Yay Hokies!
Last night I had some contractions, but at this point I don't put a lot of stock in that. I know I'm getting closer, but to guess how close that may be seems futile. It will happen when it happens. Only it is getting awfully close to xmas! I would like to keep him a November Baby. For some reason that line between months offers some kind of mental buffer. Expenditures on presents is a worry...especially before the winter heating season in Vermont. Baby Bday + Xmas + Gas Bills = poor house.
So I'm just waiting. I'm a little annoyed that the pre-baby house cleaning and grocery store trip has faded in their effectiveness. The dog hair is accumulating and the fridge is becoming bare. Today I have a list of little tasks to complete. Maybe the activity will help move things along.
So until further notice, I am still cookin' the kid. Everyone send me some labor vibes!

Are you going to be videotaping a la Baby Story?
Nope, I don't think so. Daddy will be there with a camera, but I don't think we need live action drama :-)
I can't even imagine the anticipation. Hang in there Nacho!
You do realize that I'm sleeping with my cell phone practically taped to my ear, awaiting the "on the way to the hospital" text. C'mon, Nachito! I know it's all warm and quiet and cozy in there, but we want to see you!!!
thinking good thoughts for you.
