t the end of January, a Valentine's baby forecast seemed completely improbable, but here we are waiting patiently for Buddy's arrival, 2 weeks and 3 days late. The little guy has given us a few false signs of delivery this week only to snuggle back in to his cozy Mama. We figure that his personality will either be super mellow or just really stubborn. Aquarian or Pisces? But, today's a little different because we tried inducing naturally this morning. The combination of a healthy ultrasound, encouraging midwives and an accupunturist extraordinairre topped off with a spicy Thai meal have brought on strong contractions this afternoon. Possibly to the point of no return...but, alas, Buddy has a date with destiny, and it's not today.
With high hopes of seeing the little guy before day's end, I ran a batch of last-minute nesting errands while Bunny napped at home contracting with Buddy. I found a couple of reusable cotton diapers at Children's Clothing Exchange, where the owner, Stormy, shared sympathies,
"Has your baby arrived?"
"Nope, but we induced with accupuncture a couple of hours ago."
"My son was three weeks late, and everybody was driving me crazy asking about why he STILL wasn't born yet," she laments.
More accupuncture and another ultrasound scheduled this Monday, which will be officially three weeks late. Sooner or later...
