Soon And Very Soon

I wonder if Jesus was thinking about his mom, or one of his sisters, or some friend who may have been pregnant when he said, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." - Matt24:36

 

Anyway, that's how it feels waiting for little baby H to pop into our lives. And I suppose that's how the next 25 years or so of my life will feel...hoping, waiting, curious to see what happens, trying to stand back and let the little guy do his thing without too much interference.

 

Due date is Friday, but we (and by "we", I mean Heather) haven't experienced any real pre-labor or anything at this point. Maybe we've got more time than the doctor's schedule shows.

 

A nurse told me that walking and spicy food help speed things along. So, last night I took Heather out for some spicy pizza. (Gretchen, we went to Fat Lorenzo's for the first time. We thought it was an awesome representation of Non-Chicago, MidWest style Pizza. Can't wait to hear what you think about it....) So we sprinkled the spicy flakes on the pie (one of my most exciting acheivements was assisting Heather develop a taste for the spicy). Afterwards, we both spent time on the treadmill--me trying to slow down the pear shape effect that happens to all glutons who eat too much pizza and Heather trying to knock out the baby. Obviously, he didn't come. We'll have to try again today smile

 

Anyway, I'll be posting pics as soon as the little guy let me.

Fat Lorenzo's has always intrigued me, but I have never been...I will have to check it out. Maybe we can go with you guys and Baby H when he decides to come out and meet us. I haven't heard that spicy foods helped speed things along...I did use to walk around Target pushing the biggest cart I could find--who knows if that really helped or not, or if all those tricks are just an evil conspiracy by people in the medical profession trying to distract hormonal women from blaming them if they go past their due date. smile Either way, I hope they work. I can't wait to see him!

We're all waiting with you! I think I tried every trick in the book and Clara was still five days late. No baby stays in there forever, but it sure feels like it sometimes.
