Nope.

No baby yet. I have opted to be induced on Friday if nothing happens by then. I wasn't sure if I liked the idea of being induced, but then I found out that it was typically done between 6 and 8am, which works well with getting some sleep before hand. It also saves me having my water break in the middle of a pool party like last time. No, I wasn't in the pool, thank goodness. Too gross to contemplate. I still don't feel anxious to start up the whole newborn routine, but my body is certainly ready to evict the critter. Not that I was ever "glowing", but now I'm all grunts and groans. There just isn't any more space, and there are no comfortable positions to be found.

Other than that, all I have going on is toilet training. We've had a fair amount of success, but all I can really tell you at this point is that the process forces one to stay on top of the laundry. Is that a plus? I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel on that one.

Hey I didn't know I could click on the countdown thingy and get a breakdown of how many days and weeks had elapsed too!

(Yes it's taken me how long to figure this out? -Oh, actually I'll tell you... *click* 279 days! ;) )

I like how your countdown has kindly opted to continue with 1 day left instead of getting into negatives or overdues... I was supposed to be induced at 41 weeks, but since Pumpkinpie never did anything without a threat, she started on her own finally the night before, only to need to be dragged out forcibly anyhow. I do have a friend who had all FOUR induced! Hopefully it will all go smoothly - keeping digits crossed for you!

Hoping it all goes well...how exciting that your kids will have the same birthday! I hope you post some pics of the little one.

I was supposed to be induced at 9pm (water broke many many hours before and Gigi didn't take her cue on womb-eviction) - but my order was never signed so they didn't start until after midnight. All I can say was "OMG I wish I had gotten some sleep before they induced" b/c it was over a year and half before I had a full nights sleep again. Anyhow, I'm babbling.

Keep us up to date and OMG you are having another BAY-BEE!

Okay, late to the party here - just read this now and it's Saturday! Which means...congratulations?? I'm assuming you had the baby and have, um, better things to do than blog. Hope all is well and you're getting SOME rest. :-)
