Baby Update

Since people seem curious, here's an update:


I am still pregnant. I am uncomfortable, but would like to clarify that I'm not miserable by any means. My hope is that she either comes tomorrow so she can get a free slurpee on her birthday every year or that she comes on Friday so I can go to the midnight showing of Harry Potter the night before. If she waits until then, she might just be the perfect child. Priorities, people.


I have been doing my part to usher her out though. This weekend, we went on a long walk at the mall, swam, ate tons of fresh pineapple, went over every speed bump Jeff saw, and now we're cleaning the house. To be clear, I'm not getting that nesting feeling. I really don't want to clean the house at all, but maybe we're tricking my body into thinking it's nesting and thus Eiley will want to come out. Or not. Either way, the house was seriously a disaster and we're fixing that.


Also either way, this kid will be here by the 18th because the doctor scheduled us for induction that day if she doesn't come earlier.


In conclusion, two people have asked if Eiley is twins this weekend. This time I responded with "No, I'm just due today," which was slightly more satisfying than courtesy chuckling.

Sabbath Sunday: Waiting for Eiley

Happy Sunday, Lobsters! Today I'm going to observe the Sabbath by eating fresh pineapple (it's supposed to help induce labor), walking a lot, and hanging out with Jeff.
