Home stretch update

No baby yet. I go back to the doctor tomorrow to find out if I am any closer than I was last Wednesday. I can't tell if I am. A part of me thinks the McNug has dropped more but I really have no idea.

I spent yesterday swimming which was such a great feeling. I felt so light in the water and I am sure my body enjoyed the break from the weight of the McNugget. I was not able to tread water though. I have no idea why. Perhaps because I am just too big? The weirdest part about swimming was stepping out of the swimming pool when I suddenly felt all of the McNugget's weight on me again. I am looking forward to hauling her around in new ways in a few weeks because I am getting pretty sick of our current set-up.

Jonathan is on the way home from the airport with his mother. She will sit with us while we wait for the McNugget to hatch. Jonathan's father will join us on Friday. This is exciting for a few reasons, one of which is because his presence here means we will have a M.I.T.-trained engineer to put together everything for the McNugget that comes in a tiny box and is supposed to actually take up lots of room.

I think they are here, more later. . .
