Fun “before and after” belly shots. The first is from when we first found out. The second is today.
Okay…..I made it past my due date, and my doctor is back in town! So BUD is now allowed to arrive this week. Well…..not Wednesday night….Dr. Pehr has plans to take his mother to the opera that night….but any other time this week before friday morning 
All is going well. My body is a tiny bit further along currently than I was with Lucy last time. Hopefully I get to go into labor before Friday. Otherwise, we are scheduled to be at the hospital at 6:30 am on Friday for induction. So cross your fingers that some serious contractions happen before then! Either way, we will have a new little baby in our arms by this weekend!
Does anyone have any ideas to induce labor?? Sarah – I am NOT eating mac n’ cheese with A1 sauce this time. So don’t even suggest it! I do plan on doing lots of walking, maybe yoga, continuing to go to work a little bit, maybe some yard work, and eating fire-hot “Good Night Chili” with lots of jalapenos to get things started. Any other ideas are welcome.
Also…just curious…does anyone want to share if they think boy vs. girl???? If you plan on sharing, know that it will be recorded forever in the baby book. And we’re also open to any last minute name ideas too. Just know that we like the classic names that would match with “Lucy”.
Well, that’s it for the update. I’m sure we’ll be uploading more photos in the very near future….a smaller belly, but bigger smiles!

I wish for you a happy, healthy baby…..
Ditto the first commenter… Definitely happy & healthy, and I’ll hazard a guess, too: Girl; 8lbs, 4 oz; 19.5″. Helena?
As for induction, you know I tried it ALL, and the only time I went into labor on my own was after visiting the acupuncturist. And I totally agree: no mac & A1!
Boy. I still like Charlie!
induction suggestion: gorey movies
After several hours (maybe days?) of braxton hicks, AJ and I went to see the movie “Contagion”. The first few minutes are a bit disturbing, and we were subsequnelty out the door within 30 minutes (strong contractions), with new baby in arms a few short hours later. Shazam! And yes, the movie theater gave us a refund so that we could leave for the hospital. Close call. movies are expensive.
A Thursday (2/9) delivery would be ideal.
can’t wait!
Healthy, Happy, Boy, Girl – can’t wait. A ceratin gift from God! … I am sure a story to tell – soon and a gift of life . You are in my prayers, your stength, your joy, your love. your tears, your laughter, your child!
In my thoughts and prayers, Katie and Ben!
XOXO
Aunt Di – the eve of Febraury 6
I’m still predicting a boy – 8 lbs. 8 oz.; 20.0″ – arriving Friday (2/10). I like the name Charles/Charlie and I also like Alexander/Alex and Adam.
