Hi all. It's me. Pregnant me. Still pregnant, btw. Officially "overdue".

Funny story...maybe:
Went to the Doc's office on Monday. When Doc first entered the room... where I sat with a sheet over my nether regions staring at the lube and the latex glove...he said, "Well now you've overdone it!". ("overdone it" cause I'm "overdue")

It was a joke. And I laughed.

But then I made a joke of my own and said, "Well doc, don't you think maybe you got the date wrong?".

It was a joke. And he didn't laugh. Rather, he went into fine detail in his charts with how he arrived at my particular due date and was also quick to remind me that I couldn't provide them with pertinent information they needed (first day of last period) to figure it all out. I gathered that he didn't pick up on my joke.

No more jokes...latex glove on.

I'm almost 2cm dilated, so I've made a little progress :) They'll keep a close eye on the wee one and as long as things are safe, they'll let me go till December 1st. I promise things will happen before then...so sit tight! News will come soon after :)

I don't think doctors HAVE a sense of humor unless they are the ones making the joke...

Pins and needles here! You and Diane are running neck and neck in the who-drops-first race. Diane went to the doctor yesterday and he said "not this week", so you may be ahead!

CONGRATS, Ben and Rene'! Can't wait to see pics of the "little" guy! Love to all three of you!

Best wishes for a quickly-broken water and rapid progression after that. Otherwise, it's Pitocin contractions for you, lady!

Thinking of you.
