tick tock

we are hanging out between week 37 (swiss chard) and 38 (leeks).  we had a routine doctor visit today in which we learned, not much is new.  baby is moving, belly is big, 1cm.  we are now 75% effaced.  so that is progress from last week at 50%.  other than that here we are, passing the time.  

i have started to set up at least one event a day... mostly things that revolve around food.  like lunch, coffee, cupcakes, dinner.  tick tock.  i feel this is one of those times i must cherish, because in the near future this will not be the case.  yet it's hard to watch the minutes pass and not focus on the looming labor.  

the baby will not be coming this weekend because Dr. K is in New Orleans, and she is a big piece of our labor puzzle.   

after hearing Obama last night, it makes me hopeful and happy to be having our baby in this new administration.
