Week 41



Well, here we are at Week 41 and Petunia is still cozily ensconced within her mommy's warm and comfy tummy. Mommy, by the way, seems to be doing great, notwithstanding Petunia's timorousness. Perhaps she is just waiting for the right opportunity to make a grand entrance?

In any case, today was a doctor's visit day and so we went in to the hospital again. Just to be on the safe side, the doc had her hooked up to a fetal heart rate monitor for half an hour, after which it was determined that all was peachy keen. The monitoring process was actually kind of cool because, if I read the tape properly, it looks like the equipment recorded a contraction. SAM, however, says she didn't feel a thing.

We scheduled our induction for the 11th (November 11th would be nice for a birthday, actually - easy to remember) while there and so now we're all set to enjoy the week!



Actually, what we've been doing is talking about wanting to enjoy the upcoming week and asking the baby to wait to be induced very loudly so she can hear and, hopefully, decide to foil those plans. :)

We got home at around 6:00 and had tacos for dinner. Yum! They may very well be my favorite food.

Then, we went on a walk at Victoria Park during which we called Roz for her Birthday and took some photos for the blog post tonight. There's SAM with some HK skyline in the background and us making out on a park bench. Well, sort of.

You know, the first time we ever made out was on a park bench in Taipei's Da An Park. This time, our intimate moment was considerably shorter as I received a message on my Blackberry about one of my shipments and had to get home in order to coordinate a bit. Oh well. That's okay. I get to kiss her whenever I want now! That's gotta' be one of the best parts of being married.

A contraction? I mean, a little blip on the monitor that Sarah didn't feel but could be a sign of upcoming (with no specific timeline) activity? How exciting! I'm so glad to hear that everything is peechy with Petunia! How cool it would be if we had 07-07, 08-08 and an 11-11 birthdays in our family! Love to you both!

Okay, me again... Loving all the updates as I am NOT calling to check in on any twinges, burbles, leaks or other excitement. I'm very interested to hear about the toy shipment, though!

How amazing that Lindsey had her baby- had they actually moved into their new apartment by the time the baby came? Whew! Not much time to spare!

Have you thought of packing a few boxes just to see what might happen?? Probably not...

I love you!! M/R
