We made progress! We were 2 centimeters dilated, and the doctor has proclaimed that we are “ready.” We had the infamous “vigorous exam,” and the doctor said we could go tonight. We’ll see!

Happy Due Date!
No baby yet. Just lots of people checking in to see if we’re parents yet. Hopefully she makes her appearance soon because everyone is getting really impatient.
Still getting bigger

This is me at 38 weeks 5 days. I keep thinking I can’t get any bigger, but time keeps proving me wrong.
Making things happen…

The Internet is full of tips for inducing labor for all those moms-to-be at the same stage of pregnancy that I am: the stage where we’d really like it to be over. My doctor says that none of the old wives’ tales really work, but I must admit that I’ve been taking the stairs down [...]
The Perfect Name
Posted in Third Trimester on November 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
One of my most-asked questions this half of the pregnancy has been about the name. And I dread the disappointed response I get when I say that we are not sharing our names. There is a part of me that would love to talk names with everyone. It’s interesting to hear what other people like [...]

Still here! No baby yet… We had an appointment on Tuesday last week because of the holiday. There was no change in my dilation or effacement, but my cervix had softened since the last check. There’s progress. It’s just a little slower than I would like. We’ll just keep waiting, I guess.
Also, another two pounds [...]

Our 37 week check up went well yesterday. Things are progressing, but not very quickly. So we’re probably not having a baby this week, though you never know!
Meanwhile, I need to get my hospital bag packed and try my best to stop eating all this candy we have at work. I gained two more pounds [...]
Will we make it through the first month?

Essential Supplies for Your First Month:
Travel Supplies:

• Diaper bag with supplies – We got a diaper bad full of sample stuff from the doctor’s office that will work until we find [...]
Just practicing…

Well, at 36 weeks, the little miss could certainly be born if she wanted to, but yesterday was not the day.
We had our very first false alarm, of sorts, when I called the doctor’s office with a question. They told me to come in for a test, just to be sure. “If there’s a question, we [...]
Baby Brain
Posted in Third Trimester on November 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This weekend I said “contemplate” when I meant “compensate.” Yesterday I said “era” when I meant “stage” as in the stages of pregnancy. Clearly I am in the baby brain stage at this point.
One month from yesterday til my due date!

What I’ve Been Reading- Eating Animals: Foer Gets The Facts On Factory Farms November 11, 2009Eating Animals, the searing indictment of factory farming that Jonathan Safran Foer spent three years painstakingly researching, has got the champions of cheap chuck circling their wagons and denouncing the celebrated novelist's latest work as just another piece of fiction.

- My Q and A With Jonathan Safran Foer November 17, 2009Jonathan Safran Foer's new book Eating Animals is a thorough, nuanced analysis of the ethical and environmental quandaries posed by America's appetite for animal products. He is intent on fostering more mindful eating, whether we choose to forgo animal-based foods entirely or opt to simply reduce their consumption. Foer graciously ruminated on my m […]KAT
