- No baby. Seems at this point I should start off with that…ha! We are at the point where I have to text, not call, my family or they automatically answer the phone with, “Baby??????” Well-meaning friends check in daily for updates too. Only, there isn’t any. He’s still in there.
Today I’m 39 weeks 2 days, the exact day Owen was born. I thought for SURE #2 would be here by now, even if only ahead by a day. He is making it very clear that he’s going to do things his way.
We have done all the Get Out tricks short of Caster Oil (because, yuck), but I guess until he’s ready, they won’t work. That doesn’t stop me from starting each day by issuing a verbal eviction notice.
- The good thing about still being pregnant is that we have spent a lot of time as a family this past week. Michael was on vacation and our time together as three has been really special. Last night as we zipped around on the boat (hitting every wave, as requested by me!), I watched my little boy shriek with delight as he helped drive the boat and laugh into the wind and thought how lucky I am for these wonderful boys in my life.
- I cringe to say this, but I’m starting to understand the appeal of a minivan. The back of my Honda is packed solid. (Is Baby Got Back in your head now?)
Two car seats! Eeep! (For anyone interested, that’s a Graco Snugride and a Britax Boulevard. I’m a big fan of both.)
- What can I eat for breakfast to induce labor? I’m thinking leftovers blueberry pie… (What?!)

Maybe yoga will do it tonight!! Fingers crossed for you! Thank you for the updates…I hate to bother you with texts/calls/FB messages when I know you have others to attend to
See you tonight!

I’m wearing that same shirt today! And I had blueberry cobbler for breakfast yesterday and a red velvet cupcake for breakfast this morning, so blueberry pie sounds good in my book.

Ahh!! Babies. They always like to keep us on our toes, and keep reminding us that THEY make the rules. At least at the beginning.
Little Behbeh?? We’re ready for ya!!
But Molls, for 39 weeks, 2 days, you look great.

Baby is boss. I tried a lot of stuff and mine decided to be over a week late. :S
And I hear ya on the SUV – our Accord isn’t nearly as spacious as I once thought it would be…and we only have *one* car seat…so far!
