Groundhog's Day

You've seen it, we're living it...

More of the same...

This is the most boring blog in all of the interweb, but I keep updating so you all know you're not missing a thing.
I crocheted a blanket this weekend.
I sat and watched the entire Superbowl from my couch, after walking to Dumbo in the afternoon (the last part of the return trip is a huge uphill slope). I've been eating spiced food for four days now. I've tried everything said to help induce labor short of castor oil.
I'm going to yoga this morning. Nate's gone to work this morning. My parents are being wonderfully patient watching their ticking time-bomb of a daughter who seems to have lost her clock. They have been here since Wednesday night! Poor things may have to go back to CA before this kid even arrives.
I head to the hospital Wednesday for fetal evaluation tests... to make sure the baby is fine, has enough fluid and is not getting too big.
Thank you for all your sweet notes and well wishes.

Indeed, Still Pregnant...

Sorry to disappoint folks, but this baby is smart enough to want to stay where it's warm and cozy and not 25 degrees outside. We did have some contractions, some stronger aches and pains yesterday...I started to get hopeful. But they faded away by 5pm. There's just no way to know when this old car is gonna turn over enough times to get started.
I'm hoping sometime soon, 'cause though I'm still feeling great over all, the anticipation is starting to kill me and I'd really like to keep this kid under 9 lbs.
So while you're enjoying your beers and your wings this Superbowl Sunday, America, send your thoughts, your waves of pain, in my direction.
Thanks for checking in!

Still Pregnant...

same as yesterday...

Still Pregnant...

Due date is here and yet the baby just seems so content! I'm still holding out hope we'll have a baby by Sunday, but we shall see. I guess I'm just a great vessel.
I'm feeling good. Not too big. I am tired, but am sleeping well. So really, I can't complain.
Thanks for checking in...

No news...

Just got back home from doctor. Same progress as last week, so nothing to really report. Am having stronger braxton-hicks contractions, so hopefully we'll have a baby by Sunday.

Awaiting Baby Miles

Still awaiting the arrival of the prodigy.
My due date is this Friday, January 31st.
H is moving around as much as always, 'e is so big it rocks me to the core, but is still so much fun!
I'm sleeping well. Getting around pretty darn well for being 9.5 months pregant.
Next doctor appointment is Wednesday morning. So hopefully we'll have another update (or a baby) soon.
Thanks for all your well wishing and sweet emails!
