Is the Joke on Me?

I feel bad I haven't updated my blog the last few days. I've been in avoidance mode, because I know what everyone really wants to see are pictures of the new baby, not me getting fatter and fatter. Unfortunately, that's all I got right now. So, here's an update on where things stand with our pending arrival.

I went to see the midwife yesterday and had a Non-Stress Test, since I'm past due, to make sure all is well with baby. We both passed with flying colors, and since we are healthy and I prefer not to be induced (which doesn't mix well with natural childbirth), there's not much to do but wait.

As to when, exactly, the baby might arrive, I was told and I quote, "It could be any minute, any hour, or it could be next week." I am fine with him not showing up today, because my baby is not a joke and I don't want his birthday to have the word "fool" in it.

That said, everyone cross their fingers for tomorrow. My favorite numbers are 2, 8, and 4, so I'm feeling like 04.02.08 would be a particularly fortuitous birthday.
