yep. No baby Barack yet. I’m due in less than four days now but it sounded from my last visit to the doc like the dilating had slowed down. I have another appointment on Thursday and will know if I’ll have gotten any more extra centimeters.
I’ve been having tons of braxton hicks contractions though. Thankfully they don’t hurt.
In the meanwhile i’m pleased because I’ve had the free time I needed to complete some projects around the house and especially do some work on project A which I had not been able to focus on as much as I would have liked.
I’m begining to feel ready to meet the little guy actually. The room is stocked and decorated, his clothes are washed and folded and his crib is assembled.
It also feels like Mzee and I have been doing a lot of work getting ready for him emotionally. Perhaps blame it on hormones but we’ve been having some really intense conversations and I feel like we’ve been reconnecting a lot recently. All goes towards making me feel more comfortable about bringing this baby into the world, into our home, and into our marriage.
Now back to twiddlig my thumbs and waiting……

Now start amassing all the energy you can. you will need it during labour and afterwards. Glad to hear you settled on Barack as the name. Am I half right that it was my suggestion?

So I get here four days later and ask, “are we there yet?”
