we may be good looking, but we can't count

so, nic and i were a little off in figuring out how many weeks along we were. no matter what, the sept. 6th due date stays static, but for some reason we grossly misjudge if that means we're 33 or 38 or whatever weeks. about a month ago we were shocked to find out we were at 33 weeks....now we were convinced we were starting our 38th week when this thursday will mark our 37th. none of this really matters anyway. we found out today that i've started to efface a little bit and we got some great pictures of nic finding the heart tones in the doctor's office. evening primrose oil starts tonight and i think i've officially begun the maddening habit of desperately searching for new signs that labor is coming. things slowing down at work hasn't helped because now i have time throughout the day to think too much about each braxton-hicks contraction. i think i'm going to be thinking about this more obsessively at work since i've tempered down many of my responsibilities here and if i were home, i'd have cleaning and organizing to obsess over!

I think the doctors change how far along you are thru out the closer you get to the end, the just like to mess with us! Effacing! Yeah! Lola! You are going to do great! If you guys need anything while your nesting kicks in please let us know! Bill is just down the street from you guys everyday.

Scout has been asking if the baby is out yet \, and I tell her that she is probably the only one allowed to ask that question. She wants to know when she can hold her!

Bill, Scout and I send our love.

I wish you an easy,open labor of your dreams.

Love ya !
