Nothing to do but Wait




i am not working. nor is Carl (well, outside the home). We are just waiting for little boy to be born. Ella is home as well since we have taken her out of daycare for 2 weeks during the holidays. Little boys due date was yesterday, well sort of. that date was based off the first ultrasound i had. the second ultrasound gave me a date of 12/23. Carl wanted the boy born today because its the shortest day of the year and their was a solar eclipse last night. two events that haven't coincided in over 5000 years or something. i just don't want to be in the hospital on Christmas day. i don't want a christmas baby. A new years baby would be fine. Medical insurance would cover costs and we would have a chance of being on the news (and winning all sorts of freebies) if baby boy happened to be the first baby of the year. of course, if he isn't born until then i will be kind of bored and anxious with waiting. i have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning. perhaps there will be some progress (dilation, cervical softening) then.
