The doctor's first words at our appointment yesterday were "When's this baby going to be born?" He said it with a smile and a twinkle in his eye because he knows better than any of us that no one knows exactly when the big day will arrive. While greeting some women at an afternoon tea yesterday I got this response. "No baby yet? You're still getting around? You need to be staying at home." And then there are all of our local friends and neighbors who are worried sick that we won't remember to call them to announce the baby's arrival. I get at least one phone call every couple of days from a friend just wondering if the baby's come yet and I haven't called.
So with all of that in mind . . . just wanted to let you all know that there's no baby yet. But have no fears, we'll send word as soon as possible after he's born!
Our official due date is this Fri., but the doctor told us yesterday that he would give at least another 10 days after that for things to start on their own before he intervenes. We were glad to hear that as we would like to avoid an induction if at all possible!
One of our biggest challenges will be not being able to communicate in English with our doctor and his staff. Thankfully, a dear friend has graciously agreed to sit in the hall and wait on stand-by if we need some help translating during the stress of labor and delivery. Thanks ahead of time for all of your prayers!
Hoping to have exciting news for you soon . . .
