As you know, we're officially overdue.
From our OB visit on Monday, it's been determined that the baby is still doing fine, but things don't seem to be moving along as the doctors would like. It seems that after 40 weeks, the tendency is for the placenta to start to calcify. Also, less water around the baby can be problematic. In our situation, both are happening. As a result, if Robin doesn't make her appearance on her own this week, we are scheduled to enter the hospital Thursday night to start the process, and be induced on Friday morning.
So. There will be a baby by the weekend.
We're actually rather amused that our baby might be born on Friday the 13th. It almost seems a moral imperative to to go find some Goth babywear, although I think that most of the options at babygoth.com may be more than is strictly necessary to match our level of amusement -- but I will say that their Roswell and Bunny Bones t-shirts are pretty funny (and I think we'll skip the Living Dead Dolls altogether).
I am happy to say, however, that our nursery is finally complete. Here you will *finally* see the new rocking chair, whose textiles just arrived today; the bassinet and changing table you have seen before, all organized and ready for baby changing; and the lovely new curtains for the closet, courtesy of mom-in-law/Grandma-to-be Rosemary, and her friend Gina. I think that the effect is cozy, but organized -- at least it is at the moment!
I guess we're ready....Really ready....Did I mention we were ready?
