Yay for October babies (and all babies!)!
We're celebrating my due date by checking off a few nice-to-haves on the to-do list! We have an electrician putting in some new lighting. And I'm going to clean the fridge, go on a walk with my doula and make some banana bread!
If baby isn't out before Monday, I'll be back for some more acupuncture. I got a light treatment on Thursday with the plan to crank up the needles if I need. Trying to avoid getting induced!!!
ETA: oh and I would really like to avoid going to work on Monday! Normally my days are mellow but I have a client meeting that I am really dreading. Would be so much nicer to have a baby instead!

Hey ladies, sorry for the quiet! Internet access is average as per usual & just no time!
Claire Elise joined us on September 30th, after a successful induction - REALLY successful, which I'll share soon. (Should we start a labour and delivery story thread?)
She is (as we expected) a BIG girl - 4.1kg / 9lb1oz and came out screaming with a head full of thick black hair and cheeks for days. She looks NOTHING like me at all, haha - the midwives keep doing double takes. All her daddy & his Sri Lankan heritage, and much darker than Georgia.
All doing well, just trying to remember adjusting to newborn days & will be here in the hospital til Tuesday morning. Breastfeeding is just as hard as I remember.
Quick shot for you gals, more later once we're home!

Bit of a speed bump - she has to go to special care for jaundice so might be here a bit longer.

@Amorini: Okay! Sitting here waiting for my contractions to turn into the real thing and very seriously considering turning my messages off so people will quit texting me wondering if Imve had the baby lol. How are you?

@thepicklemonster: Good luck with the c-section tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you!

@avivoca: Same! Waiting for things to ramp up. Got quite a few comments this weekend as I walked all over around town trying to get things moving ("twins?" "your water just broke!" whatevs!). And I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow...

@Amorini: I am so glad I am on leave right now. It was rough last week! Both with people making comments and the sheer amount of discomfort I was feeling. I'm also super confident in my replacement this time.

@jaguar: I'' sorry. I hope the time and special care is limited and fixes it soon!
As of 8:56 this morning, I am officially more pregnant than I have ever been. Also, it's my birthday!
