So we’re a day past the due date, but as we’ve been advised, it’s not uncommon among first time parents to be a few days late. Doc Wong says we have 80% chance of going into labor within 7 days of our due date. Plus, baby has no idea of what a due date is, so it’ll come when it’s good and ready.

However E is ready to get baby out. There’s a lot of people (and pets) waiting to meet the little one, so we keep reminding it.

Our strategy yesterday to hasten this event was to go for a walk and try to shake the baby out.

Today, I’m going to KFC for some hotwings and spicy chicken- the eviction notice has been officially posted.

E is doing well- she’s taking her naps in the late afternoon which is good. With all the family events over the past 3 weeks, she probably hasn’t gotten all the rest she’s needed.

It’s a bit surreal now that we’re past our due date. Surreal in the sense that we were looking forward to the August 14th date for so long. The thinking is that by that date, we’ll be parents. Now it’s a little different… by tomorrow morning, by friday, or by next week we could be parents.

I hope this doesn’t mean we have one of those rebound kids that refuses to leave home when they reach adulthood. :-

we’re moving our Blog from MySpace to BlogSpot. Part of it is the UI, part of it is difficulty in linking and anonymous comments… and the other part is I don’t want to be a beta tester for Microsoft.

What I’ll do is move all the old posts from MySpace and retire the other site.

In the future I might look at other options. Lester’s put the idea in my head of leasing my very own domain name and hosting the site for me… but that’s a future project.

Or there’s the web space that comes with our shaw account. For that you use MS Frontpage and ftp up your changes.
