It's official....Simon's due date has arrived. Ok, sure he hasn't decided to grace us quite yet with his extra-utero presence but, hey as I tell my patients, "Baby's don't come with a FEDEX tracking number....we can't guarantee when they are going to show up."
I'm going to celebrate anyway today. It's predicted to be a gorgeous, sunny, spring day here in the PNW. I've got a massage scheduled....it's free pastry day at Starbucks and free cone day at Ben & Jerry's....it will be a lovely day and I'm going to try to enjoy the last days of my pregnancy as this is probably the only time we will be doing this.
Some memorable moments.....

The weekly baby newsletters, the ones that tell you what your baby and body are up to, equate the size of the baby now to a size of a watermelon. Yes, this is an image that a woman at term wants to imagine coming out of her body in a few short days, a watermelon. But I guess I have to say, a watermelon is smaller then the baby whale I've been envisioning of late due to my baby's enjoyment of whale song and Hawaiian hula.
Markus is way, way ready and very excited. Though his recent request to change Simon's name to Mario Kart is more than a little disturbing. I've stopped answering this question...logic doesn't seem to have any impact on this argument. He's asked Simon to come on a couple of occasions where he has wanted out of some meetings. I think this is not the way to entice a baby to be born and think we should start using reverse psychology. But then I'm afraid he'll call my bluff and stay in there until he's the size of the Farmer John's Blue Ribbon Watermelon.
Come on out, Simon (except can you wait until I have my massage?), Love Mom
