Week 38 Day 4

Still cooking.  Only now with syle.

I have to admit, even my meager attempts at home made henna don't look half bad when applied on a pregnant belly.
  Remember Shrinky Dinks?  This will totally make me sound like an ass, but I'm really curious to see what happens to the henna design post birth.  Probably nothing like the commercial.  But how cool would it be to finish the birth in only 3 "magic" minutes.

Week 38 Day 3

Daily Von Bebe

No.  That's not a basketball in there.  It's too big to be a basketball.

Week 38 Day 2

Daily Von Bebe.

In an attempt to make things seem like they're progressing as slowly as possible, I've decided to post a daily picture of Von Bebe.  Here is today.
   As with many projects I begin, this may or may not become a regular thing.  We'll see how I do.  If I neglect to put one of these up in the next few days, it may be because we're a little... uh, preoccupied.  Or I may just be procrastinating.  Just to keep you guessing.  

Week 38 Day 1

     38 weeks….   They say you’re never really “ready” for the birth.  But I have to say… we’re READY!  I know as soon as it happens I’ll be freaking out. 

   Every midwife visit could be our last before the baby decides to come.  Our weekly pictures may include the little one next week.  We just don’t/can’t/wont know until it happens.

   Enjoy this shot of a belly painting that our midwife did for us.  My wife jokingly calls it our full color ultrasound. 

And it accurately reflects the position of the baby.  Although it has been in this position for weeks if not months, now.

   Honestly, if the baby came this early (about 2 weeks before the “due date”) it would actually make our parental leave plans more difficult.  So we really should try to be more patient.  (Easier said than done.)  Then I think screw being patient!  This is where I get to be a selfish ass!
