Baby Update

Well the update is there really is no update. Everything looks fine, but no signs that labor is going to start any time soon. Measurements are good, heart rate is good, but he is not engaged and is turned into a somewhat posterior position (faceup). I am supposed to work on changing that. James was a posterior baby which can mean a long painful labor (which he was). They recommended swimming to turn the baby, so off James and I go to join a pool tomorrow.

I am not sure what we will do if this baby ends up going far beyond his due date. The practice I am at will consider an induction about a week and a half after due date. That could have us taking a very young newborn across on a very long trip. The airlines will allow us to fly after a week, but I would much rather take an older baby on that trip. However, there is nothing we can do about it.

James and I have been enjoying the amenities of city life. We have done some shopping, eaten out and seen a couple of movies. In all honesty, I am kind of tired of these sorts of activities. I find the traffic and all the people a little tiring. Which is humorous, considering I am in New Hampshire, not exactly the big city. Perhaps I am adjusted too well to life in the bush.

Terrence will be here on Sunday. That will be great. Michael has been cooking fabulous food and he and Molly have been taking great care of us. James is really enjoying this time with his Grandparents
