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. :-
