Well, what can I say? I thought I would go early and now I'm going to be late! The doula and midwife keep reminding me that the baby is ready when it is ready. We're trying a few natural induction techniques as of now and we'll start getting a little more serious later this week with herbs and such. We'll see how my exam on Wednesday turns out and take it from there. Baby is still moving a lot and just feels so big in there! It must be pretty cozy in there. We really had our hearts set on a Thanksgiving baby, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a December baby!
I'm trying to stay busy by stocking up the kitchen and doing some housecleaning that isn't too hard on me. I'm taking more naps and distracting myself with games on the iPad. Jake also expressed a desire to learn how to knit and we've been spending our evenings watching movies and making baby hats. Jake made a small washcloth as his first project and made a hat for his second project. It's so cute! (Jake put the hat on the bear that Jen made for us.)
To be continued......

wow, way to go, Jake! What an awesome hat!
Yes, little babies operate on their own timetable. He or she will come soon enough! Enjoy your cozy time on the couch!!!
Jake did a fantastic job on his first hat! His tension is great and love the stripes. I am still working on the bear hat...just need to reduce and add the ears. Hopefully will finish it sometime this week and get it mailed out.
Can't blame the baby for wanting to stay with you a bit longer and have the advantage of all the goodies you are enjoying. But all good things come to an end and pretty soon the little one will have to be nourished with bland milk. Smart little one.
Good work, Jake. For a novice you sure do knit a mean stitch.
Lots of luck to both of you.
Love,
The elders
