well, here it is -- august 15!
and, no baby! just an empty bassinet, empty stroller and car seat, and plenty of sleep being had by bill and i. yesterday our doc said that everything in my body is progressing better than it was last week (i'll spare the details, but basically the baby has dropped!). that means that baby is on his or her way, but just taking his/her time. if nothing happens between today and next thursday, i'll be induced next thursday. originally the induction was scheduled for next tuesday, but since my body is progressing on its own, we're going to wait a bit longer.
what do you do when waiting for something huge and significant? pray, take lots of naps, drink ovaltine, read, talk on the phone . . . enjoying every second, even though it's hard to wait!
