So we had our visit with the midwife today. I don’t think this little guy is ever going to come out.
The appointment started, as usual, with the nurse taking my weight, blood pressure and checking for any new complaints. She also reviewed that ultrasound report from my scan last week and noted that [...]

Well…
Even more ready…
On the theory that Michael Aaron will have to come before food would have time to spoil (if properly stored) I went shopping for and prepared goodies to have on hand when I go into labor. Unlike with a hospital birth, a midwife will allow and even encourage eating during labor to keep your strength [...]
282 (out of 280) Days Pregnant…

276 Days Pregnant!
Our friend Eric has suggested more frequent updates as we approach the ever-so-important date of baby Michael’s scheduled arrival. To make him happy, and because I have nothing better to do now that I’m not working, I am happy to comply.
So first update - I am still pregnant and unfortuantely not showing any [...]

To those of you who are participating in the Baby Birthday Pool, thanks for joining in on the fun! This is such an awesome time and I am as interested in the outcome as anyone…maybe a little bit more.
To those who have picked slots prior to or on my due date of December [...]
